Full Description
Several post-medieval stone/turf dykes at Glen Colbost, Skye, were recorded during a walkover survey in 2012 by RoCAS prior to a proposed windfarm development. A couple of the walls were possibly fragments of once larger structures. All were assessed as being degraded or very degraded. <1>
