Full Description
A walkover survey was undertaken in 2015 by Rough Bounds Archaeology et al, covered the area to the north east of the bay at Saideil Druim an Daraich and then south-west above the tree line between 50 and 60 metres above sea level following the extant walling clearly marked on the map.
Site 24. Well built short length of walling to c.1 mtr high running c.8 mtrs west from low outcrop but ending in rubble a few metres short of a 3 metre high outcrop to the west. Footings of an older structure running north for c.7 mtrs and then east again, all enclosed by the stony gully formed by the outcrops – possibly used for kelp stacking. <1>
