Full Description
"Situated within the extent of an area of feannagan cultivation (1.6) the remains of this possible stone/boulder circle measure 20 metres in diameter and include six equally spaced boulders. A second similar feature in located ca 20 metres to the east, also within the extent of the cultivation. The remains of this second circle are much more poorly defined. At the time of this survey interpretation of these features was unclear, with options including boulder circles relating to the prehistoric ritual landscape in the area (2) or clearance relating to the pre-crofting settlement recorded in the vicinity (1)." (Burgess 2004, 75-76)
