Monument record 14859 - Eilean an Tighe stone setting

Site HI 26 (NG 4209 9736; NMRS NG 47 NW 11) which in the original survey was thought to have been a possible boat-shaped stone setting, sitting on the skyline position on the ridge above the blackhouse, was found on excavation to be sub-rectangular; some of the large stones had toppled giving a false pre-excavation shape. Removal of the peat cover revealed a concentration of small stones at the S end, which are assumed to be the remanants of a disturbed cairn. Below them a baked-hard peat soil surface was encountered which was left intact for possible future dating.
