Full Description

A grass-covered wall, 8m long, with an entrance 2.4m wide, crosses the promontory at Castle Haven, 45m from its end. It may be associated with Castles Sinclair and Girnigoe (ND35SE 15).
C E Batey 1981.

The wall at ND 3789 5493 is as described by Miss Batey. It would appear to be an old barrier, probably to keep stock from the promontory.
