Full Description
The remains of a large dyke run parallel with a modern fence from the south east corner of loch na Buaile Garbha over to the corner of the football field. It is 0.5-1.5m tall and 2-3m wide, and is constructed mainly out of small clearance type Gneiss stones. It was probably the extent of the intensively crofted area up until the recent past, outside of the wall being considered common grazing.
No grid ref. given for this site, but the head dyke is believed to be in this area
