Details Remains of an enclosure. Located on the highest point of Hag Brae is a small circular hollowed-out area with the suggestion of a stony bank surrounding it. This structure, said by Warden (1880-5) to be similar to that on Rob's Reed (NO45SE0030 - Circular Homestead), is 8.2 m in diameter and the bank, which is circa 3.0 m broad, is 1.2 m high on the north scarp where the ground falls naturally to the north. Elsewhere it is only circa 0.2 m maximum height. The hollow is 1.0 m deep. The interior is partially filled with small flattish stones with a few small boulders. The structure is too small for a dun, and has the appearance of simply being a quarry - unless the encircling bank can be proved to be a wall.
