This sub-circular enclosure (int. dims. c. 21.6m ENE-WSW; c. 19m NNW-SSE; ext. dims. 24.9m ENE-WSW; 22m NNW-SSE) is defined by the remains of a grassed-covered stone wall (Wth 1.9m at SSE; int. H 0.1-0.2; ext. H 0.2-0.4m), the outer face of which is visible from SE to SW. Elsewhere, the perimeter is defined by occasional stones and short sections of wall.
