Full Description

A grass-covered wall, 8m long, with an entrance 2.4m wide, crosses the promontory at Castle Haven, 45m from its end. It may be associated with Castles Sinclair and Girnigoe (ND35SE 15).
C E Batey 1981.

The wall at ND 3789 5493 is as described by Miss Batey. It would appear to be an old barrier, probably to keep stock from the promontory.
Visited by OS (J B) 22 July 1982.
