(04/02/2004) Two pillow mounds located on fairly level stances on a very steep east-facing slope. Immediately to the west lies a small circular stance which may mark the site of a small bothy in an area of dense clitter. One pillow mound (SX61579185) has a well preserved earthen bank which measures 6.7 metres by 3 metres and up to 0.8 metres high. It has a broad silted ditch around three sides. The second pillow mound (SX61679187) on a slight slope has been damaged. It measures 5.6 metres by 3.2 metres and a maximum of 0.7 metres high and is enclosed on three sides by a silted ditch.
