In improved pasture, on a very gentle E-facing slope with rock outcrop close to the surface. A beech woodland with obvious rock outcropping and stone deposits located to the immediate N. Recorded by Westropp (1914-16, 65-66) as a small enclosure (labelled 'C’ on his map ‘Gorteen Group of Forts’) and he describes it as ‘a ring of small blocks….nearly levelled’ and refers to ‘the wall of C alone has filling’. Not depicted on OS historic mapping. Not visible at ground level. According to local information this land was improved during the 1960s/70s.
