Full Description
A post-medieval head dyke or boundary wall was recorded during a walkover survey by West Coast Archaeological Services in 2012 at Allt Mor, Bracadale, Skye, prior to a proposed woodland creation scheme. The moss and grass-covered stone and/or turf wall spread ran for c.355m 2-2.5m wide and stood up to 1-2m high. Towards its southern end it was overlain by an enclosure at the east end of a post-medieval farmstead (feature group 4, feature 4g - see MHG55684). It was washed out at its northern end. <1>
