Full Description
E 260:
This surviving part of a probable wall of dyke is heavily turfed over, 4 metres long, probably extending across small glen up to 15 metres. Several stones protrude through turf and grass. It is orientated from south-west to north-east.
Interpretation: This remainder of a wall probably belongs to the cultivation fields (E 259 and/ or E 433) located in the direct vicinity. It had probably the purpose of seperating two fields.
