Full Description

A turf and boulder banked was recorded, aligned ENE-WSW, during field survey. It was highly degraded and only a portion survived. It lay parallel to a bank recorded c.35m downslope (MHG54114). It is porbably associated with the field system and clearance cairns previously recorded across this area, and may be one of the lynchets recorded by RCAHMS (see MHG28496). <1>
