Feature A comprised six to seven ridges covering an area of 25m x 40m, Feature B 5-6 ridges covering an area of 20m x 15m and Feature C 4-5 ridges covering an area of 20m x 20m.
D:centred on NB 0700 0666
This spread of feannagan extends from the west extent of the area, to the cetnre of the low-lying grount, between the head dyke (smr 14212, Feature H) and the drain (smr 14213, Feature I) and covers an area of 60-70m east to west by 20m north to south. They are in a better state of preservation than Features A-C byt more degraded towards their east extent.
