Enclosure in Commons West (bear By.)

In rough hill pasture, on a break on the stony W-facing slopes of Miskish Mountain and within the remains of a network of field boundaries (CO114-084011-). A circular area (6.6m E-W; 6.4m N-S) is defined by the remains of a roughly constructed drystone wall (T 0.5m; H 0.6m), some of which is spilling downslope. The stony E half of the interior slopes down to the W and the W half is almost level. A hut site (CO114-084009-) abuts the enclosure at SW.
