On the top of the bank, across the burn, and some 300 yards NNE of the enclosure with the mound in the centre [see NC86SE 6], is a large circular enclosure, with walls 4' to 6' thick, and an interior diameter of 43'. It appears to have had several smaller constructions in the interior, and adjoining it on the exterior to the N. Some 80 yards N of the last is a hut circle, overgrown with ferns, and showing signs of ruins in the interior, but the details are obscure. About 30 yards further N are the remains of another hut circle, also indistinct. This construction seems to have been composed of four or five small circular compartments, from 5' to 8' in diameter. Adjoining it on the N is a small oval enclosure, measuring 40' x 20',the outer wall of which is continued round to the N. of the hut construction. Some 40' or thereby to the W. is another small enclosure of simple form, the banks of which are much worn down. It has been entered from the S, and has an interior diameter of from 15' to 20'.
