b) Very similar to (a), slightly less tumbled with larger blocks in line and visible through the grass as well as in erosion scar. Runs 20.8 m NE/SW x up to 1 m spread. Most of the stone of (a) and (b) is basal quartzite.
In large linear sandblow to NE of plantation. Overlooks Loch Borralie to SE.
Field boundaries perhaps linked to 95, 99, 100, 102 and 104 and forming long strip fields.
