In rough hill pasture, on a NW-facing slope, overlooking Kenmare Bay. A circular area (diam. 9m) defined by the remains of a drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.4m). There are two contiguous stone slabs along the NW arc. The NW portion of the interior is raised (H 0.6m) and the SE portion is cut (D 0.4m) into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. The interior is level. An enclosure (KE109-001033-) is c. 45m to the S and relict field boundaries (KE109-001036-) are c. 220m to the NE.
