On a rock outcrop knoll overlooking a basin c. 200m to the W. Subcircular grass-covered area (int. dims 33m E-W; 28m N-S) defined by a grass-covered stone spread (Wth 5-7m; H 0.2-0.8m) with facing-stones intermittently visible (at S: original Wth 2.2m).

H 0.8m) which is frequently reduced to low scarps and survives only SW-W-NE.
