Full Description
"Situated above the south-eastern shore of Loch Beag na Tanga, these four lazybeds run from west to east down a slight east facing slope for 16 metres. Round in cross-section and 1.4 metres in width these beds stand to a maximum height of 0.3 metres and probably represent limited summer cultivation associated with the sheiling (45.7) located immediately to the north-west." (Burgess 2005, 164)
