Summary:
SETTLEMENT MOUND (Undated)
Possible settlement mound
Location:
NB 10128 35888
Full description:
no.17
On the shoreward side of the sharp curve in the road through Traigh na Berie is an area of recent dumping in a sever roadside blow-out. A lower level of rounded boulders is also eroding out here, associated with stained sands. While these may be an earlier period of relatively recent dumping, an archaeological interpretation cannot be ruled out.
