Full Description

The remains of a turf and stone banked enclosure lie adjacent to the road. This W wall, as photographed, is c0.75m high and c1m wide. It is evident on the location plan but not on the OS map series. The S wall of this enclosure can be traced down the N bank of the burn (on its southern arm) towards the sea. Cultivation ridges are evident to the N of the B8057. A track, probably the former road line runs to the W of the enclosure and this can be followed to the S until it is cut by the modern road on the bend c100m away. <1>
