Monument record 1698 - CEADRAISEAL, LEWIS

NB23NW 9 208 369.

There are 6 or 8 rough angular stones acting as headstones set in thick heather on rising ground known as 'the Slope of the dead' a few metres W of a prominent cliff on the west side of Ceadraiseal Hill.
Each stone is set at the head of a low mound. They mark the graves of men of the Morrisons of Ness who were killed by the MacAulays of Uig during clan feuding.
This was reported by Mr Norman MacLeod who recalls that there are also 3 graves some 100m further N. All these graves were much more obvious some 20 or 30 years ago.
