NM/046493. Inland less than 100 yds. from Dun Vaul Beg is an area approximately 23 yds. square, surrounded by a V- shaped ditch, 6 ft. across at the top. The inner face of the ditch is built up with small stones in places. The area within the ditch is elevated slightly, and contains a large number of round and oval depressions. The purpose and nature of these, and of the whole complex, is quite obscure.’ (Discovery and Excavation in Scotland 1958, pp. 10–12).
