A Y-shaped junction between three stony banks is visible on the crest of a low ridge overlooking Auld Taggart. All the banks disappear beneath the peat, but the SW arm briefly re-emerges on a rock outcrop 45m to the SW (NX 1494 6655). There are traces of a possible enclosure in the angle between the SW and N arms.
