What is recorded here
In rough pasture broken by outcropping rock, on a ridge. A subrectangular area (4.5m N-S; 3.4m E-W) built against the N side of the outcropping rock. It is defined by the outcropping rock on its S side and by a partially collapsed drystone wall (T 0.65m; H 0.5m; L 5.3m) on its W side, where it is straight, and elsewhere, where it is curved. Loose stones are scattered outside the curving section of the wall.
