Monument record MHG11795 - Possible Henge, Sydera Wood

Dornoch Heritage Soc site 33 D: No facing stones evident, but appears to be circ c11.5m & bounded by wall spread to c 3m at rear, widening to 5.5m at clubbed entrance in SE.

At NH 7649 8940 (Info from T Buchan, OS Surveyor) on level ground in an area of glacial ridges is an enclosure consisting of an oval ditch 3m and 0.6m maximum depth with traces of an outer bank some 2.5m wide. The area enclosed, measuring about 13m from E to W by 8m transversely, appears to be original ground level and is featureless. The outer bank in W has been mutilated by ploughing, which has also slightly encroached on ditch. There is no sign of an entrance or causeway. A few clearance stones have been thrown into N arc of ditch.
The classification of this enclosure is uncertain. It is evidently ancient and has the look of a hengiform earthwork about it.
