Enclosure in Rossmackowen Commons

In rough peaty hill pasture with occasional surface boulders, on the lower S-facing slopes of Hungry Hill. A circular area (9.4m E-W; 8.8m N-S) is defined by the jumbled remains of a partially sod-covered stone wall (T 1m; H 0.35m). The level interior is raised (H 1.3m) at S and cut into the upslope (D 0.7m) at N to compensate for the hillslope. Rubble is scattered along the perimeter, especially downslope to the S. Small mounds of stones to the W of the enclosure appear to be clearance cairns. A fulacht fia (CO116-034001-) lies c. 50m to the NW.
