Visited by the Assynt's Hidden Lives project in December 2009. An L-shaped earthen bank was found close to the previously cited NGR. This may be a remnant of an enclosure which was part of the field system listed as MHG13102. The bank was up to 1.5m wide and stood up to 0.7m high. It was truncated by the A837 to the south-east, terminates after 16m to the north-west and is aligned NW/SE. <2>
