The National Monuments Service's description
On inspection in 1998 foundations of a wall were noted extending SW (L c. 20m) from an enclosure (CL004-086001-) in a slightly curving fashion. On OS Aerial Premium (2012-2018) this looks to be the grassed over remains of a fairly straight wall abutting a NW-SE similar wall to the W at an angle. This lies within an extensive field system (CL004-027001-) with prehistoric and medieval elements stretching all along the W slopes of Knockauns Mountain.
