Full Description
An enclosure at Lower Tote, Skye.
An enclosure at Lower Tote, Skye, is visible on 1999-2001 and 2009 vertical APs. It is almost circular and measures c.14.5m in diameter. At its southern end it has a straight side formed from a wider earthwork. However, on the 1999-2001 aerial photos there are slight indications that it may once have been completely circular and that the straight southern side is a later addition. It is possibly a large hut circle or sheep fold. There are also slight indications of a second, smaller more oval enclosure abutting to its southeast quadrant. <1> <2>
