Monument record MHG6503 - Creag Sneosdal

NG46NW 14 404 692

On the lower slopes of Creag Sneosdal and to the north of Suidh 'a' Mhinn is a plateau lying at 180m OD, which overlooks the upper reaches of the Abhainn Sneosdal to the N. At its western end sits a sub-oval building measuring 6m E-W externally and 8m N-S. The entrance 1.5m in width is positioned at 54 degrees E of N, and leads to a central area from which radiate four passage-ways (0.4m in width), each leading to a single sub-circular cell. The cells vary in diameter from 0.9m - 1.2m, that to the S-W occasioning a bulge in the otherwise even curve of the external wall.
