Full Description

NF 7395 2194
c. 30m, 3m deep
There is dark soil in the few rabbit scrapes, but no midden material (it seems sandy enough to preserve bone and shell). Another mound, immediately to the north is a possible site, but the sand is yellow and clean in its rabbit scrapes. This may be Dun Ruadh (NF 7379 2184), of which there is no sign, or Locah Hallan midden (NF 73 21) which could be one of a number of sites.
