Cultivation
A series of lazy beds lies on the south facing slope above crofts 1 and 2. The eight platforms are orineted southwest-northeast and are well built up to provide a level well drained cultivation surface with ditches between each bed. The largest, at the downhill side of the site, is 0.8 metres wide by 20.0 metres long. The smallest bed, at the highest point on the site, is 5.0 metres by 5.0 metres.
