A grass covered drystone dyke [spread to c1.5m wide and up to 0.5m high] runs N-S down the hillside from a crag to the Clachaig flood-plain where it transforms into a turf wall as far as the River Coe.
On the flat flood-plain immediately E of this bank is a sub-rectangular turf-walled enclosure which has been cut by the more recent drystone dyked enclosure and apparently destroyed in its E half (unless the dyke runs along the top of the remains of the turf wall). The turf-defined enclosure has sides c90m, c36m and c30m long and has an obvious entrance but no clear evidence of rig or other forms of cultivation.
Immediately E of the more recent dyked enclosure by the old military road are the remains of another sub-square enclosure [c25m square] of grass-covered boulders and stone [c0.4m high and spread to c0.8m wide]. It is possible that this is the enclosure marked on the 1st ed OS map.
