Full Description
A souterrain at Hallin Park, Skye.
Captain MacLeod, Upper Halistra, Waternish, states that in 1986 while ploughing within the south-western enclosure at Hallin Park, a capstone was dislodged revealing a souterrain passage. This was seen by several local people before it was covered up again as they did not want it brought to a wider attention.
Information from R Miket, October 1990.
The site was included in a discussion and in an inventory of souterrains on Skye by R Miket. No additional information. <1>
