Finnarts Hill Enclosure is a round earthwork on the summit of Finnarts Hill, c. 4 miles N of Cairnryan. The grassy enclosure, which measures c. 20 yards in diameter and 1 yard high, has a low outer bank and ditch on the perimeter. Canmore ID 60911 (go to Links) states that there is a causeway breaking the N Arc of the ditch. The ditches on the E & W Arcs have been delineated by reeds. The SW Quadrant of Finnarts Hill Enclosure has been covered in reeds also. There is an irregular hollow in the centre of the enclosure. There are extensive coastal views of Loch Ryan to the S and W, perhaps explaining the location of the enclosure. Additionally, there is a companion cairn c. 250 yards SW down the heather clad slope of Finnarts Hill.
