(NS 9311 2542) This site, on air photograph taken by Wg Cdr Insall, appears to be a central keep approached by an entrance between converging banks.
O G S Crawford 1930
The centre is a building of no great age (slate fragments etc): the rest are garden and similar enclosures.
Information from O G S Crawford 5 November 1938
Visible on RAF APs (106G.Scot.UK 86: 3363-4)
Quite clearly an old plantation, tree stumps are still to be seen in the bank and within the enclosure. No evidence for a building was found.

Two concentric circular earth and stone banked enclosures, 22.0m and 82.0m in diameter. They both have an entrance in the south west joined by two more banks to form an aisle 8.0 m wide. There is a sub-rectangular bank enclosure built against the outside of the inner circle. The banks vary in size from 0.3m to 0.6m high and from 1.5m to 3.5m wide. These post-Medieval enclosures are laid out in a very precise order and are not mutilated.
