Internal diam. 17m-19m. An area sub-rectangular in plan is limited on the NE and SW sides by a grassed-over stone wall, on the NW by a steep edge, and on the SE by the more gently sloping edge of the long rocky ridge on which the site is placed. The wall on the NE averages about 1.6m wide and is .6m to .8m in height. There are four narrow gaps in the wall and the stone make-up is visible in places. The wall to the SW is less substantial and towards the S end there is a gap 3.5m wide. In the interior is a circular 'hut' site (DG008-012002-), the internal diam-eter of which is 6.5m. It is bounded by a grassed-over stone wall 1.2m to 1.8m in width and about .2m in height. There is an opening about 3.5m wide on the W. The site is on a long, narrow elevated ridge in wettish pasture.
