Details Circular enclosure observed on the north side of Blarourie hill, east of the Stockmounth road. The wall appears to be made of stones with a small trench on the inside. It is about 50 m in diameter with a small cairn in the centre and may represent an enclosure or ring-cairn. Site possibly associated with the hut-circles and a cairnfield which are located to the north of the track, and finds of flint arrowheads further to the south. Additional circular features have been observed on Aerial Photographs located to the south and west of the enclosure but are not recorded on the 1st or 2nd Edition OS Map.
