Full Description
Situated on the shore at Mol Mor there is a building, some small cairns, rig and lazy-beds.
A two-compartment building (ACHIL94, NB 9835 1020) lies a short distance to the S of a cairn (NB91SE 14.01) and measures 12.5m from NW to SE by 7m transversely over stony banks, 0.7m high by about 2.7m in thickness, with an entrance in the SW. A pen has been built into the NW some 2m in diameter. About 10 small cairns lie scattered over a distance of 50m to the NW along the edge of the raised beach and there are traces of low-profile rig amongst them. Lazy-beds extend along the shore to the W for about 300m by up to 100m inland, whilst there is another block of lazy-beds to the E of the small cairns that run right across the peninsular to the SE shore. Amongst the W block of lazy-beds there are what may be two much denuded huts (NB 9813 1033 and 9814 1037) and some pits.
