Monitoring of topsoil-stripping associated with the construction of a dwelling was undertaken on 12 June 1999. The work was carried out in compliance with a condition included in the grant of planning. The site is within the boundaries of a large enclosure (KD20:1) that encompasses the base of Killhill. Also on Killhill is a smaller enclosure site (KD20:2).
