Full Description

The site was reported by C Culbertson in 2024. The site appears almost as a motte and bailey castle with a form of first defence area and then the main dun behind that. <1> More information and photographs awaited.
The site is visible on 1999-2001 vertical aerial photographs as an oval earthwork c.16m x 10m. <2>
