Full Description
An enclosure and possible farmstead to the southwest of Lealt and adjacent to the Abhainn An Lethuillt, Skye.
An enclosure, probably a sheepfold, and possible farmstead are visible to the southwest of Lealt and adjacent to the Abhainn An Lethuillt, Skye, on 1999-2001 and 2009 vertical APs. It consists of a 'shield'-shaped enclosure which appears to overlie an earlier structure, a possible building to the northeast and a stretch of dyke running north-south to the eas which almost connects to the enclosure. <1>
