What is recorded here

On the lower slopes of a NW-SE valley, at transition to valley floor, in rolling grassland. There are fair views across and along the valley but views are impeded by rising ground to the SW. A roughly circular area (int. dims. 48m N-S; 43m E-W) enclosed by a wall of tumbled boulders (Wth c. 7-8m; H 1.6m). There are two entrances, an enlarged entrance at E (Wth c. 5m) and another one (Wth 2m) at the NNE. The interior is flat, with a slight drop to the E along the E perimeter.
