English meaning: Turf wall

Notes: This name refers to a turf dyke just a little to the north, and uphill, of Allt a' Chamain. Duncan Murchison supplied the name and location information, 24th October 2012, and he had learned it from the late Kenny MacDonald (Kenny 'Ain Dungain) On an aerial photograph, a series on outlines that may have been turf dykes can be seen, however, the name seems to refer to one specific example which is rectangular
