Ancient Village or Settlement in Clackmannanshire

The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) discovered this site in 2013 Bengengie North, Alva, Clackmannanshire, although they say "this really takes a lot of effort to find ..... but if you really enjoy this hills, it's a good little side-track to visit." They give directions, photographs and include the archaeology and history of the area immediately around this enclosure.

There is no record (yet) on Canmore. TNA that this is a "man-made, roughly rectangular-shaped enclosure, whose bank and ditch averaged 1-2 yards across.  The maximum height of the outer embankment is less than 3 feet.  Its eastern and western lengths measured roughly 17-18 yards long, and the longer lengths north and south were between 30 and 35 yards at the most.  The cairn feature that I’d initially noticed is found at the near-eastern edge of the enclosure."
