Additional Information from Comunn Eachdraidh Uig:

This area is know locally as the Caraidh, referring to the previous existence of a caraidh or fishtrap, where a low dyke is built below the high water mark. Fish are carried in on the tide and when the sea recedes are trapped in the shallow water.
