Field Visit (17 April 1996)

NY48NE 161 4646 8660

A trapezoidal turf-banked enclosure, probably for stock, is situated on the NE side of Kirk Hill; it measures about 160m from NE to SW by about 100m transversely. Vertical aerial photography (543/RAF/1507 F22: frame no.0204, 3 November 1961) reveals turf stripping across the northern half of the enclosure, and also a network of field-drains cutting the enclosure bank.

Visited by RCAHMS (DCC) 17 April 1996
