Kinrive 1 NH 70 75, 70 76 NH77NW 3
There are four groups of monuments on the SE flank of Kinrive Hill. About 1.2km W of Torran farmhouse there is a rectangular enclosure (NH 702 756) measuring about 230m by 70m, which surrounds two hut-circles measuring about 9.5m and 8.5m respectively in diameter between wall-centres.
About 1 km WNW of Torran farmhouse there is a rectilinear enclosure (NH 704 758) measuring about 150m by 90m over a bank 1.5m thick and 0. 7m high, which surrounds two hut-circles measuring about 15m and about 8.5m respectively in diameter between wall-centres.
To the NE of the second rectilinear enclosure, and SW of a recent field-bank which crosses the hill from NW to SE, there are a number of small cairns, hut-circles and an enclosure.
To the E of the recent field-bank there are several hut-circles, two circular enclosures, several small cairns and some stretches of what are probably prehistoric enclosure-banks. Some of the enclosure-banks abut the hut-circles and circular enclosures.
