Full Description
A line of large basal quartzite boulders running NW/SE downslope for c 30 m. The walling turns to run NE for c 2.5 m at SE end. Large gaps between the boulders. No bank evident, although there are some smaller stones along the line.
On sloping ground between 30 m and 10 m contours, with thin turf cover over sand.
Overlooks Loch Borralie to S and E and Kyle of Durness to SSW.
Possible field boundary, although may be fortuitous alignment of naturally occuring boulders
