What is recorded here

Situated on the riverward crest of one of the grass-covered terraces that constitute the E-side of the Easky valley. This enclosure is subrectangular (28m NW-SE; 23m NNE-SSW) in plan, and is enclosed by a drystone wall (Wth c.3m; int. H 1.25m; ext. H 1.5m) with the lower courses of boulders. The enclosing wall is truncated at WNW by a later field boundary, on a NNE–SSW axis. The interior slopes down from E to W. A line of boulders, with a bank (H 0.6m) or accumulation of soil on its E side, extends from the enclosing wall at N for several meters through the interior to S. It lies c. 3.5m E of the W side of the enclosure. Conjoined to the E side of the enclosure, is a second, smaller, subrectangular enclosure (SL017-022002-). The shared wall between the two enclosures is most substantial at its N and S end but is narrower in between. There is no gap evident allowing access from one enclosure to the other.
