Monument record 13212 - HARRIS, TRAIGH IAR

NG09NW 15 0393 9714

NG 0393 9714 A spread of stones covers a circular area about 10m across. Some 35 stones protrude through a low grass-covered mound and hundreds more have been located by probing. The stones are up to 70 x 35cm in size. The W part of the setting is covered by a sand dune about 3m high and extending to the W for 26m.
The probe survey suggests a built structure(s) with a circular perimeter wall about 7.5m diameter and internal areas sub-divided by radial walls.
The location is on the W face of the headland, slightly above the 20m contour. It has a view of the Clach MhicLeod Stone 166m to ENE, and (over the cliff 75m to the S) has a view of Traigh Iar (beach).
