To the northwest of the cairns and row blocking stone on the top of the hill in middle East Moor, can be found the remains of a prehistoric enclosure, said to be in the shape of a “D” and made up of small stones mostly hidden under the turf.
I have read that this is very difficult to find, so just had a quick look for this but found nothing obvious, and didn’t spend much time looking.
