Full Description
A walkover survey took place prior to a watching brief on land west of Druim nan Slochd. A small, round cornered, turf and stone enclosure was recorded at the foot of the slope some 5 metres outside the development site boundary. He visible remains measure 5 metres NW-SE by 4 metres NE-SW over walls spread to c.1.5 metres wide. A possible door opening c.1 metre wide lies in the centre of the SW facing wall. This is possibly a pen or bothy. A small length of turf boundary runs up the slope to the north. <1>
