Full Description

Part of a boundary dyke, 'L' shaped at this piont close, to the water course. The dyke comprised of a thick layer of topsoil over boulders. Dimensions 0.2m height x 1.8m width.
The boundary dyke is apparent on the Benbecula map by W.Bald (1805) and represents the north-eastern boundary of Balfinlay tack; this gives this structure a likely 17th century date of origin.
