Archaeology Notes

NG62SW 80 6235 2061

About 30m upslope from a large enclosure dyke which lies on the W flank of Ben Suardal at about 53m OD are the remains of two connected enclosures. Both are built out of slabs of limestone set on edge. The westerly enclosure is rectangular and measures 5.5m by 4.1m over walls 1.1m thick. Attached to the E side is a semicircular enclosure with a wall 0.8m wide.

Visited by GH 1 April 1990.
