Full Description

A walkover survey in 2008 identified a large area of arable ground situated on the sloping ground to the SE of a miry basisn, surrounding a small unnamed lochan. The area, c.200m SW - NE by 140m, is divided into three parcels of lazy beds, divided by rocky knolls. The lazy beds are on average 3.80m in width and 0.20m in height and oriented NW-SE at the northern end and E-W or WSW-ENE at the southern end. <1>
