Full Description
Field system comprising circa 20 irregular turf-covered stone clearance heaps. Partial excavation revealed rubble content, but no hut circle or fields were traceable. A 19th century source suggests that these monuments mark the site of a clan battle, but it is more likely that they result from the area being cleared for cultivation.
