What is recorded here
In rough pasture, on a rocky W-facing slope. A circular area (diam. 9m) defined W-WSW by a collapsed drystone wall (T 1.4-1.6m; H 0.4m) consisting of an inner and outer row of upright contiguous stones with a core of smaller stones. The wall is low and grass covered WSW-W. The entrance is at NNW, defined by an upright stone slab, set at a right angle to the line of the wall, on the SW side. The SE portion of the interior is raised (H 0.5m) to compensate for the upslope. A relict field system (KE101-024011-) is c. 16m to the N.
