D-shaped, grass-covered area (int. dims. 22m N-S; 17m E-W) with some bushes defined by a stone spread (Wth 4-5m; H 0.3-0.9m). The straight side (L c. 15m) is at E, but there is no evidence of a stone-facing. The entrance (Wth 4m) is at S.

In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 30th July, 2010.
