This is a fogotten corner of Bnbecula with only four entries on Canmore. The area is an archipelago of islands - three main islands, Triallabreac, Eilean na Cille and Fodragaigh togeter with a host of smaller.
Recently I have taken an interest in this forgotten corner of Benbecuklaand over three brief field trips have managed to identify around 100 sites of interest, all of which deserve recoding as part of the official recods. This archipelago was certainly an important economical unit on the Western Isles, ad considerable investments in materals and manpower were made here
This is either a large complex turf-walled farmstead or a connected group of smaller turf bothain. The site is on the south-east promontory of the island with excellent views to Wiay, Canna and Rhum.
