Laneway running E-W defines enclosure on N side; straight length of field fence joins end of arc at NE to laneway to N. Bank stone-faced internally and externally; now partially collapsed. Gap (Wth 2.8m) in bank to SW. Interior (39m E-W; 38.5m N-S) used as feeding area for cattle; surface badly cut up.
