The remains of a turf-and-moss-covered drystone dyke were recorded here during a detailed desktop and walkover survey of Strathmashie Forest ahead of a proposed heritage trail. Enough archaeological features were found to make the trail worthwhile. The dyke survives to a height and width of 1m and can be traced for around 130m from an old track to a forest ride to the E. Forest ploughing has damaged the dyke beyond this.
