Castle Hill NO 361 567 NO35NE
This ring-ditch house is situated on a terrace SE of the summit of Castle Hill. The ditch is up to 2m broad by 0.3m deep, and there ·is a wall 1.7m thick on its outer lip; within its ditch the house measures about 9.5m in diameter, and the entrance is on the SE, where the wall thickness increases to 3m. There is a small cairn 2m in diameter on a knoll to the SE, but it is probably of relatively recent date.
