In an area of improved pastureland and rock outcrop. This poorly preserved roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 63m) is defined by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 2.7m; H 0.4m). It is clipped at W by a N-S running field wall and at S by an E-W running one. A well-defined entrance gap (Wth 1.9m) at N is marked by two large boulders, that to the W (L 1.4m; Wth 1.5m; T 0.3m) has fallen while that to the E (H 1.15m; Wth 0.9m; T 0.5m) is set just inside the bank. Radial banks, running roughly NE-SW and NW-SE, divide the interior into four segments of differing sizes. In the E segment a raised platform may mark a small burial area (GA104-015001-); it has been disturbed by badgers which have exposed numerous human bones. The monument is densely overgrown with thorn bushes. A house site (GA104-015002-) c. 12m to the E may be associated. (O'Doherty 1984; Prof. E. Rynne pers. comm. December 1983)
