Three enclosures, formed by lengths of dyke joined to a main dyke which runs along the road at Upper Diabaig, were visited by C Dagg during a walkover survey in advance of a Woodland Grant Scheme project in 2000. The westernmost dyke was the most notable with a rubble outer face forming a retaining wall to a much higher ground level within the enclosure. Although eroded, the land within this enclosure showed some evidence of former rig cultivation. The other two enclosing dykes were of turf and stone construction. The footings of a building of two commpartments at the western end of the westernmost enclosure, as well as the substantial remains of buildings within the eastern enclosure were also noted. <1>
