NS3678 : Round enclosure on Carman Muir

taken 14 years ago, near to Renton, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland

Round enclosure on Carman Muir
Round enclosure on Carman Muir
The feature was originally reported as a hut circle; however, as described in the end-note, it was later considered more likely that this had been an animal enclosure. See the WoSAS link in the end-note for further details.

See NS3678 : Round enclosure on Carman Muir for another view, and for the main description.

In the present photograph, the circular feature fills the width of the image; the curving ridge of its far side is evident, and its interior makes up the foreground.
Circular enclosure on Carman Muir

A low, indistinct, circular bank, about 14 metres in diameter, outlines this feature, which is difficult to pick out on the ground. It was originally reported as a hut circle, but a later opinion (see comments from 2014 in LinkExternal link at WoSAS) is that it had probably been an animal enclosure. See LinkExternal link for a satellite view centred on this feature (which is, depending on the date of the images, either invisible or barely visible in satellite imagery).
