Full Description
NB33NW 28 3067 3734
What may be a single roofed shieling-hut is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Island of Lewis, Ross-shire 1852, sheet 19). Three unroofed buildings which may be shieling-huts are shown on the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1972).
Information from RCAHMS (AKK) 24 September 1997.
The description and survey of this site by A.Campbell (2010)) would strongly suggest that this site was originally a prehistoric monument, likely a chambered cairn. James Chapmans survey (1807) represented on W.Johnson's 'Plan of the Island of Lewis' (1821) depicts four parishes boundaries meeting at 'Stacksal'.
