What is recorded here
On a gentle SE-facing slope, in a small field of rocky pasture with excellent views of the surrounding landscape ENE-SW and overlooked by higher ground SW-ENE. Located within a field system (CL034-250----). It consists of a circular area (22m NW-SE; 21m NE-SW) defined by the sod-covered remains of a collapsed stone wall (int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.15m; Wth at top 2.75m; overall Wth 5.25m). There is a possible entrance gap (Wth 1.7m) at SE. The interior slopes down gently to SE and the surface is uneven due to rock outcrop close to the surface.
A collapsed field wall extends from the enclosure at NNE where it abuts a possible rectangular enclosure (22m NE-SW; 16m NW-SE) in the N corner of the field. This is defined to SE and SW by a similar wall to the circular enclosure. This is no longer traceable to NW where it is truncated by a field boundary (long-axis NE-SW) and is levelled yet traceable to NE, where it is truncated by a second field boundary (long-axis NW-SE).
