This dyke is about 35 metres long and running in an south-easterly direction, through relatively flat land It is 80 cm thick and stands up to 60 cm high. The dyke partly uses natural stone outcrop and is mostly covered with turf but some stones are still visible The surrounding vegetation is short grass.
Interpretation: The purpose of this dyke is unknown. It is unlikely that it relates to any field, becouse none have been discovered in the proximity. Probably it was used for stock management in some way.
