What is recorded here

On a terrace on a SW-facing slope. A raised subcircular area (c. 40m E-W; c. 37m N-S) enclosed by a wide, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 5.5-8m; H 0.2-1.25m) from SSW-N-S, and elsewhere defined by a scarp (H1.3-1.4m), with an intervening fosse (Wth 5-7m; D 0.6-1.2m) and an outer bank (Wth 4.4-6.4m; H 0.6-1.5m). A report in 1976 (SMR file) suggested that the original entrance may have been at S. A bullaun stone (LF009-038----) lies at the centre of the interior. Compiled by: Patrick F.
