Possible field clearance cairns and field system located 100m to the E. A circular area (int. diam. 6.1m x 6.4m) with a flat level interior which is defined by the remains of a low partially sod-covered drystone wall (T 1.4m; H 0.4m). Possible entrance gap (Wth 0.4m) at SW. There are traces of a possible filled in fosse (Wth c. 0.7m) enclosing the external face of the drystone wall which is best visible on the N side.
