NM65NE 11 centred on 6515 5585

Two turf dykes, an enclosure, and an area of rig, lying on a WSW-facing slope, were recorded during a pre-afforestation survey of Rahoy Estate.
The sinuous turf dykes extend between the Allt an Inbhire and an unnamed burn to the N. Within this area, there are patches of rig and field clearance cairns. At NM 6503 5584, there is an enclosure, measuring 5m by 3m within turf-covered stony banks up to 1.2m wide and 0.6m high, built against a rock crop. There are traces of entrance, 0.9m wide, in the centre of the S side. Two further bracken-covered cairns lie in a grassy area to the S.
