Monument record 504 - ST KILDA VILLAGE, CLEIT 61

NF19NW 21.14 0997 9974.

This drystone structure lies across the head dyke and its door faces down the slope. It is wider than most true cleitean, and though there are no visible traces of attached cells, its general character and position suggest that it is part of a remodelled cellular structure.
The fact that the head dyke abuts it clearly indicates that it antedates the 1830s.
Internally, the building measures 3.35m by 1.91m within walls up to 1.32m thick. The corbelled ceiling rises to a height of 1.52m above the existing floor. A mound outside the doorway drops sharply to the natural slope, and some stones to the N, which form no discernible pattern, may have been associated with this structure.
