Full Description

Earthen dyke running for more 15 m north-south across the eastern end of the Rubha Bhuailt peninsula. The dyke is up to 1.8 m wide, 1.0 m high on the west, and 0.75 m on the east. The sides are angled at approximately 60 degrees from the horizontal, forming a pointed apex. The dyke was largely obscured by bracken and included several gaps along its length. The dyke possibly served to enclose the eastern end of Rubha Bhuailt.
