Full description:

"Running from south to north for 220 metres through the coll at the east end of Meal na Moine, the remains of this stone dyke stand to a maximum height of 1.5 metres. The state of repair, and formation suggest that this dyke dates to the crofting period. The remains of a rectangular enclosure (31) can be seen close to its southern end." (Burgess 2004, 107)
