Monument record 8469 - Garry Iochdrach

The knoll at Garry Iochdrach is enclosed by a drystone wall surviving in places up to 1m wide and 1.5m high. Its external face has greater relief; the inner is either revetted by earth and turf or has been sealed behind cultivated soil (and thus acting as a lynchet). The wall incorporates the Atlantis roundhouses and several medieval or later structures in its circuit (V4, V56-8), all of which appear to be primary to the wall. The enclosing wall thus appears to form a relatively late element of the structural sequence at Garry Iochrach. A bank runs uphill to the summit of the knoll from the E side of the enclosure.
