Full Description
A substantial turf and stone dyke meanders WSW then SW from the SE corner of the reservoir fence. (Photo no. 2) At least three fairly large moss-covered clearance cairns are spaced south of this dyke. A second turf dyke is 12m. east of the reservoir fence. It runs SSW, then forks, the eastern branch turning east after a few metres, the western branch continues SSW. Approximately 10m. further south, a further dyke joins this, running E-W. Attached to this dyke is a circle of stones typical of pre-clearance storage structures. <1>
