Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	The D-shaped enclosure on Little Wood Hill was initially identified as a cropmark on aerial photography in the mid-20th century. Trenching carried out at the site by the National Trust of Scotland in 2014 produced a radiocarbon date of the 1st century BC to 1st century AD from the ditch, placing it within the Iron Age. This phase of excavation was aimed at opening a larger area across the southeastern half of the enclosure, encompassing portions of the ditch, the site of the entrance and a large portion of the enclosure's interior. Four slots excavated into the ditch confirmed the 2014 findings of a roughly V-shaped profile measuring between 2.5 and 3.25m wide and 1.08 to 1.55m deep. The entrance appeared to be simple in form, marked by rounded terminals with no obvious signs for an elaborate gateway. A small number of possible internal features - a possible pit, posthole and short linear feature - were identified, although their exact character was unclear. A small number of artefacts were recovered during the works. The most numerous appeared to be lithics which hinted at earlier activity within the landscape. The only artefact recovered that could potentially be Iron Age in origin was a possible whetstone. A later post-medieval musket ball was recovered from the upper fills of the ditch and few modern artefacts were also found.
