Full Description

NH84SW 9 8369 4046

NH 8369 4046 Within a rectangular drystone enclosure to the E of the Dun, traces of copper slag have been exposed by erosion. As the mines to the E, worked at the beginning of this century exploited iron ore, this slag is probably connected with an earlier exploitation of the copper ore.
