Field Visit (1 April 2010 - 1 May 2010)
Visual inspection of site: Photographs: Measured.
Here there is a small gully with sloping sides, sloping downhill and widening as it goes. It is about 25 metres long and at its mouth is 5 - 6 metres wide. Across the mouth there is a line of small boulders covered now with moss. There is much evidence of coppicing here and it is possible that this was a stock enclosure closed off by wattle hurdles. It lies close to the track to Leacnasgeir.
