Full Description
On a SE-facing slope are two rectangular structures similar to others found elsewhere on Canna. (See NG20NW 3 for analogy to possible Viking Grave).
Both enclosures lay down the slope and measure 8.0m by 1.2m and 6.5m by 1.2m. The area between the two is confused with debris and it is possible that this was one structure 16.5m long. About 100.0m to the SW are traces of old walls.
Surveyed at 1/10,000
Visited by OS (I S S) 1 June 1972.
(Reclassified as structures and orthostatic walls).
