Full Description
NG51NE 13 5612 1731
On the south-east facing slope and on a line projected from Dun Ringill to a coll in the crest of the hill, is a circular stone-walled enclosure.
The enclosure is situated at a height of c. 45m OD and consists of a substantial stone and earth wall, some 3m in thickness and 0.45m in height, enclosing a perfectly circular area 8m in diameter.
A well defined passageway 1.25m in width lies in the SE arc where a single tall pillar/slab remains upright in situ.
This structure has been circumvented by a later stone and earth dyke which sweeps around its northern and western side.
Information from M Wildgoose and R Miket, March 1989.
