Full Description

Burial ground located on a raised area, enclosed by an irregular plan stone wall, bounded by the current road along its east side and the coast line to the west. The 6" 1st ed Ordnance Survey sheet (1880) shows a smaller rectangular boundary surrounded by a settlement, the 2nd edition shows the boundsary extending towrds the west. The location of the burial ground within the settlement draws parallels with settlements on Pabbay & Mingulay and may hint at an early origin on this part of Eriskay.
