Full Description
NF19NW 21.23 1001 9941.
By the standards of village cleitean, Cleit 70 is small and unusual in having its entrance on a corner. Internally, it is 2.87m long by 1.37m transversely; it stands to a height of 0.91m, the floor being at least 0.3m above the level of souterrain (NF19NW 7) lintels. On the lower ground to the W several large stones form an arc around the NW corner and the SW corner is buttressed. The external walls of the cleit and a nearby stone heap on the boundary dyke contain fire-cracked stones, pounders, and a few shaped stones.
