What is recorded here
On a level pasture terrace at the NW foot of a steep limestone ridge, only c. 30m from the seashore to the W. Located at the SW-end of a series of relatively modern, improved pasture, roughly rectangular ladder-fields, which it may pre-date? Not recorded on the first edition of the OS 6-inch map but indicated on the later, Cassini edition (1915).
An almost circular area (int. diams. 29m N-S; 28.8m WNW-ESE) is defined by a loosely constructed, single dry- stone wall (H c. 0.8-1m; T 0.3-0.6m; max. T c. 1m SSE-S). An entrance gap (Wth 3m) and associated scarp is visible at NNE. The enclosure is abutted by later field walls at N, SSE, SSW, WSW and WNW.
