This narrow subrectangular structure lies on the line of an orthostatic wall that links two rocky crags. It measures 15.7m from NNW to SSE by 0.9m transversely and is defined by two parallel rows of boulders, which have probably been robbed from the wall. The wall can be traced intermittently for a distance of at least 300m along the crags, petering out northwards just short of the point where the wall NG20SW 13 drops down the slope. Another stretch of orthostatic wall can be followed across the terrace to the E of the structure, linking up with the walls NG20SW 33.
(Canna 514).
Visited by RCAHMS (IMS, ARG), 2 July 1994.
