Cave, test & shovel pitted, contains archaeological deposits. Preliminary shovel pit in shell midden extended into test pit. Shell midden contained many fish & animal bones. No cultural material recovered.
Alternate Names: None recorded.
Notes: Lòn na Cnuasachd seems to translate as the lawn or meadow of collection. Although 'lon' could also be pool or puddle these seem unlikely when applied to an area of moorland.
