Monument record 582 - EOLIGARRY, BARRA

NF70NW 9 705 070.

On the slopes of Ben Eoligarry are a few erosion patches in the blown sand, exposing shells, bones, iron slag, sherds etc. The only noteworthy find was a fragment of the Jurassic fossil Gryphaea which can only have been brought by human agency, since the nearest natural occurence is in Skye.
