Full Description
A substantial field bank spread up to 3m wide by up to 0.8m high runs NW from the enclosure around site V10 for c. 150m to the edge of the inlet on the NW shore of Geirisclett, and also possibly continuing as a boulder spread along the high water mark along the N side of the inlet. The bank seems to have a boulder alignment at its core, and has much field clearance material dumped over it. 35m W of V10 is a possible denuded structure, measuring 4m by 3m, abutting the N side of the bank and containing a large upright boulder. 15m further W a substantial ovate stony mound measuring 8m by 6m by 1m high lies on the line of the bank. This could be either field clearance material, collapsed structure, or possibly even an earlier burial cairn.
