Full Description

NH52SE 9 56922 2255

At the S end of a steep sided promontory, overlooking low ground and Loch Mhor in Stratherrick, is a kerbed enclosure. It consists of a ring of boulders, varying in height from 0.8m to 0.15m, and in length from 0.25m to 2m, forming a contiguous circle with internal diameter of 14m. For a distance of 9m in the E arc the boulders have fallen down the steep, eroded slope. The enclosed area is featureless.
