H 0.75m) that are set against the bog bank of the upsloping NE side, and elsewhere by the jumbled remains of a stone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.5m) which protrudes above the surface of the bog. The level interior is partially obscured by rushes, gorse and sod-covered rubble. An enclosure (CO128-045003-) is c. 10m to the N.
