A structure and two possibly associated enclosures are located at approximately 30m OD, near the S edge of the Kebister survey area, outwith the March Dyke (NO44NE 11.01), on rugged moorland immedieatly W of an area of extensive peat-cutting. The structure (Structure 24 in the published report) comprises a continuous heather-covered stoney-bank, 1m wide and 0.30m high, and is roughly circular. It underlies some 0.25-0.35m of peat, and is tentatively interpreted as a prehistoric building, conceivably a hut-circle. The two enclosures (Enclosures 8 and 9 in the published report) are located to its N and are represented by curvilinear stone banks, overlain by some 0.50m of peat.
