NR 171 565. A substantial drystone wall cuts off the promontory of Lossit Point (see inset, a in RCAHMS plan [RCAHMS 1984]) and secures an area measuring about 180m by 140m. The wall, which runs from NE to SW, is on the crest of a ridge and survives as a band of stones about 3.5m in thickness with several long stretches of outer facing-stones surviving to a height of 1.7m. The entrance is at the centre of the wall, but only the stones of the s side of the passage survive. The wall has been severely robbed to provide material for adjacent field-boundaries and buildings of comparatively recent date, and there is no trace of any continuation at its N end, where the grassy slope on this flank would not in itself have provided adequate defence. The interior is featureless and the grassy patches between the rocky outcrops have been heavily cultivated.
