HU 31 7 WARD HILL (Robin's Brae')

HU 390128

This structure, diagnosed as a wheelhouse, was located in 1988 after a silo pit dug into a mound revealed masonry [2]. A lintelled entrance passage, three masonry pillars and one orthostat were seen, all presumably radial. Much pottery, allegedly of late Iron Age date (the meaning of this term is unclear), was also found.
