Looking east, follow the road and you’ll end up at the ferry terminal to Eriskay.

The island of Fuday in the distance.

The upright slabs mentioned by Canmore, another probable cist.

The north west.

The north east bank.

No capstone, but most of this cist remains.

This cist does remain.

Looks like an enclosure has been built at a later stage.

It survives slightly better on the west side.

This could be a few cairns joined, whatever it is it has been badly robbed

I think a lot of prehistory might have pinched to make these dykes.

This looking straight west, a kerb on the east. The wee promontory once had a house,

This looking north west.

Kerbs on the south west flank.

The biggest kerb is on the west.

The largest of the kerbs, looking south east.

The kerbs of the cairn can be seen behind the big stone, this looking east.

One of the circular enclosures, a nice bit of dun stonework as well.

Another view of the potential cist.

Perhaps the cist 2m behind?

Clearly eats rock!

A closer look at the west end.

Between the chamber cairn and the straight line of trees in the distance – four cairns.

View from south west approach.

Taken from the south west – a wee bit of zoom.

Taken from the south west – no zoom.

Taken from passing place half way between the sharp corner and the nearby chamber cairn. There might also be another crannog beneath the water straight in front to the east.

NM 8809 2609 closer look at the surviving kerb, cows still behind giving me an occasional push in the back.
