This area lies to the north of Gairloch village, just above the crofting townships of Mial & Strath. Many of the early modern boundaries are of stone and turf construction. The relatively modern field system is on the south-facing slope of Meall na Dubh Chlaise. The remains of a building stand on a flat area within enclosure B. Cultivation terraces occupy the upper part of fields A & B.

To the east of Meall na Dubh Chlaise prehistoric walls/dykes contemporary with roundhouses appear as faint traces over the sloping hillside.

The drone image below shows the traces of the walls/dykes revealed by recent muirburn.
