A scarp defines the monument to N of this wall, while to S, it is delimited by a much-collapsed stone wall. There is a small mound of loose stone (N-S 5.4m, E-W 3.6m) in E half of the interior. A conjoined ringfort (GA042-057----) lies immediately to ENE. Possibly a poorly preserved circular house.
