A roughly rectangular area (10.5m NE-SW; 4.2m NW-SE) defined by the remains of a collapsed wall (T 0.65m; H 0.5m) of mainly large stones which protrude above the surface of the bog. Only faint traces of the wall are visible at NW. There is a possible entrance (Wth 0.5m) in the centre of the E wall.
