From Tillyching 1 take a sharp left and head west towards to the top of the hill. Look south and you will see that the enclosure is next to the meeting place of two dry stane dykes.

Described by Canmore as an enclosure or possibly a cremation cemetery it has good views of the cairns to the east, also south. The views west are obscured by the hill and north, by fir trees. Fairly circular in shape it is almost 20 meters in diameter and has several earthfast boulders set in its 3m wide walls.

An added bonus to the nearby cairns.
