What is recorded here
This ruinous stone enclosure, not marked on the OS maps, is located in S sloping boggy pasture on the W side of the Ardsheelhane river valley. Subcircular in outline, its N and S sectors are formed by rock outcrops. The E side is poorly preserved, marked only by some large boulders. The W half of the site is formed by a series of slabs set upright and on edge, averaging .5m high and .4m wide. The area enclosed measures 10.9m N-S x 12.8m E-W.
