Full Description
E 356:
This wall is approximately 43 metres long and describes a wide arc, running roughly in a northerly direction. It is situated 5 -6 metres to the east of shieling E 355. The wall consists of a single baseline of stones, which are now nearly completely covered with turf.
Interpretation: This wall could be part of a bigger enclosure belonging to the shieling site E 355. It would have been used for stock management.
The whole area (E 354 - E 356) needs a more detailed survey to answer the arising questions of date, contemporarity and connection.
