Full Description

An enclosure of turf and stone construction, near Upper Diabaig, was seen during a walkover survey by C Dagg in advance of a Woodland Grant Scheme project in 2000. It was roughly square but with the northwest a curve rather than a corner. In the southeast of the enclosure were the footings of a rectangular structure, divided into two squares. Outside the enclosure to its southeast was an indistinct semicircular line of stones. <1>
