NB24NE 8.23 centred on 2917 4739

Three head-dykes systems are depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Island of Lewis Ross-shire 1853, sheet 8).
The main head-dyke system (NB 2830 4957 to 3000 4789) extends from the northern edge of the township around the buildings to the SE side close to the River Arnol.
The second or middle head-dyke (NB 2865 4732 to 3036 4751) exists as four fragments extending from Loch an Duna to Loch Grinavat and then finishing near the River Arnol.
The third head-dyke is similar to the second head-dyke as it runs from the SE end of Loch an Duna to the River Arnol and is in three separate lengths.
Only part of the first or main head-dyke system is shown on the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1974).
