Full Description

HW83SW 5 81 32.

Faint traces of what appear to be two or probably three small rectangular enclosures with possibly a small rectangular hut associated occur at the east end of the central ridge of the island of Rona at the foot of a small conical outcrop of pegmatite just west of Geodha Mairi. Such traces could be produced by the cutting of turf for roofing or fuel, and elsewhere on the ridge there are traces of such activities.
