Full Description

8: NB 33052 21414. At this location there are several small discreet areas where rig and furrow cultivation isvisible on the S facing slopes. The rocky and undulating topography of this area, close to the shore, lends itself to discreet areas of rig and furrow unlike the later linear crofts and pasture to the north. Over much of this area to the south of Laxay, there are numerous areas of upstanding areas of rig & furrow, enclosures and structures that are not indicated on the OS map.
