Full Description
Rather amorphous L-shaped or curved linear feature, consisting of length of ill-defined stone walling 6.6 m long ESE/WNW with return 4.10 m long at W end, running N/S. Stones are flush with or just proud of turf. Facing evident in places, rounded NW ?terminus.
On fairly level ground on broad plateau, under thin turf and moss; burrowing in vicinity reveals sand. Overlooks Kyle of Durness.
Fragment of structure, buried in sand.
Recommendations: Monitor in case more is revealed and control rabbits. <1><2>
