Full Description
NB10SE 4.07 1538 0016 to 1629 9993
A length of head-dyke is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Inverness-shire, Island of Harris 1882, sheet xiv). It lies to the N of the village of Tarbert and runs from NB 1538 0016 to 1629 9993, partly through the crofting township (NB10SE 4.06). Two of the buildings which comprise the farmstead (NB10SE 4.05) are attached to this length of head-dyke.
Only two fragments of the head-dyke are shown on the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1973).
