Full Description

E 315:
This dyke is 12 metres long and runs in a northerly direction. It is 60 cm thick, 70 cm high and mostly covered with turf.
Interpretation: This dyke could be part of a bigger enclosure, of which the other sides have disappeared. It probably belonged to blackhouse E 314. It could also form part of a field dyke, although this would be very uncommon in this landscape.
