Full Description
Several cup marks may be seen on the W side of the island of Glas Eilean above high water mark. They measure 0.10m in width by 0.08m in depth.
I Thornber 1974.
The situation and dimensions of these 'cup-marks' would suggest that they are bait-holes or bait-mortars, comparable with those on Carna (NM65NW 1, q.v.). There is good evidence that they are of comparatively recent origin.
RCAHMS 1980.
