Monument record 1457 - BAGH SIAR, VATERSAY

NL69NW 115 6199 9582

VN105: Oval structure, 8.2 x 4.5m, of single stone blocks including some set upright, with a possible entrance at the south-west corner and a small oval shelter (3 x 1.7m) built into the southern end. Purpose uncertain; its location on an exposed low cliff-top suggests it is unlikely to be a shepherd's shelter and pen. The oval shelter is certainly relatively recent.

Oval stone setting, 8.2 x 4.5m, including several stones set upright around N. end, and two possible opposed entrances at the south end. An arc of stone and turf across the south end may be a secondary shelter.
