Full Description

A heavily robbed and partly bulldozed drystane boundary wall enclosing a formerly cultivated area demarcated by lynchets running N/S. The wall remains are low, only 0.8m high and up to 4m wide, including tumble. The westernmost side is indicated only by a robbed turf bank. This bank is curved, running 26.4m, 160° SE then for 23.1m at 140° SE along its western length. At its turn to the east, there is an exposed area of loose rubble, then a length of 39.7m running 296°NW. This section has been both robbed and recently bulldozed. There appears to have been a natural break 12.2m in width before a further section 15.1m in length, oriented 70° E. <1>
