Summary:

STRUCTURE (Late Bronze Age to Early Iron Age – 1000 BC to 401 BC)
Structure analogous to An Dunan – possibly Late Bronze Age ritual building

Location:

NB 05212 33304

Full description:

The remains of a small structure, partially submerged in the salt marshes below Uig Lodge, and most clearly visible from the hillside above the saltings. The structure is oval, forming a small, low mound in the saltings with orthostats protruding from the surface. Two causeways lead out to it, in a C-shaped arc. There appears to be some slight erosion on the western side of the structure, which is otherwise apparently stable. MML
