H 0.5m) NE-SW and by intermittent traces of a scarp (H 0.15m) SW-NE, from which stones have been robbed. Rubble is scattered externally along the perimeter NE-SW. Some stones are embedded in the level interior. There is an enclosure (CO116-035001-) c. 50m to the NE and another enclosure (CO116-035002-) is c. 30m to the W.
