This appears to be a portion of a remnant bank which may once have been part of the line which closed the circle of the early Christian cemetery, since cut off by a 19th century dry stone wall. The bank runs from the corner of the south wall of the cemetery enclosure, northward toward Stoneycroft. This feature is worn in a few places with stone also embedded in the ground. 1.5-2.0 metres wide, 0.15 metres high, 16 metres long.
