On a gentle SW-facing slope in scrub and limestone cragland. Aerial reconnaissance in November 1987 (ASGAP 384:24-6) revealed a series of field walls in the area surrounding a ringfort (GA057-076001-) and a well-preserved circular drystone house (GA057-160----) which lies 175m to ESE of it. These enclose a series of small fields whose principal axis appears to run N-S. Intermittent traces of old cultivation ridges were also visible.
