 The supposition is that the Fold of Setter was an ancient cattle-fold from the Bronze Age.
It is located approximately 1000 feet from the Stone of Setter on the Eday Heritage Trail.
According to the Canmore webpage, "the enclosure-wall of the Fold of Setter is traceable with some difficulty in rank grass and heather. The roughly circular area is some 85m (approximately 280 feet) across." No entrance can be identified, but large segments of the enclosure cannot be seen.
