Full Description

E 327:
This enclosure measures 20 x 18 metres and is situated on a slope quite near to the coastline. Its walls are between 0.5 - 1 metre tall, and mostly covered with turf and long grass. The walls are partly using natural stone outcrops as their part.
Inside the enclosure are several, quite circular features, about 50 -60 cm tall, covered with grass.
Interpretation: The height of the walls probably indicate a rather late date, probably Post Medieval. The circular features inside the enclosure seem to be just unregular peat-growth, but they could also be man-made for some unknown purpose.
