Enclosure
This enclosure sits immediately to the north of structure "a" on croft 5 (the SYHA hostel). Represented by low turf covered walls the enclosure measures 30.0 metres by 30.0 metres and runs uphill from structure 5a. There are two breaks in the enclosure, the first being at its southwest corner where it approaches structure 5a, this appears to be a deliberate entrance. The second break iis at its northeast corner, where the wall runs towards a large bedrock outcrop and is also crossed by a foot path. It is likely that the wall originally ran all the way to the outcrop and that it has been damaged by the path.
Field walking on 5/7/94.
Burgess 1995, 52.
