Full Description

no. 32
A curvilinear alignment of stone defines a bank edging an area of former strip cultivation. The position of the feature and its irregular curving form suggest that it may have formed some form of levee for Loch na Cuilc at a period of higher water level. Its construction is distinct from any other feature in the vicinity.
