There was, in the days before fences were invented, a garadh or head dyke around the village to keep stock out and away from growing crops. Maybe it was the last line of defence as the village employed one or two young lads as herds. The dyke had a stone footing and apart from where the track passes through would have been mostly built of turf. The gateway is in the process of being reinstated, with one side complete and the other awaiting the return of our stonemason from foreign parts.
