What is recorded here

In rough pasture, broken by rock outcrops, on a SW-facing slope. A roughly rectangular area (9.5m NW-SE; 6.2m NE-SW) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.7m; H 1.55m). The SW portion of the interior is raised and the NE portion is cut (D 0.6m) into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. There is an entrance (Wth 0.75m) at NE. Loose stones are scattered around the perimeter. A hut site (KE076-002001-) adjoins the enclosure externally at NW and a relict field wall (KE076-002002-) extends to the NE.
