Situated on a marked NE-facing slope. Circular enclosure (diam. 14.5m) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 1.3-1.9m; H 0.4-1m) revetted by a boulder kerb. There is an additional low revetting wall against the inner face of the bank at SW (upslope) and outer face at the NE (downslope). Stone-faced entrance (Wth 1m) at the SE.
