The spur to the NE of the summit of Phoineas Hill forms a precipitous promontory which is defended by a single wall drawn across its relatively narrow neck on the SW. Measuring 3m in thickness, with its ends resting on the cliff-edge to either side, the wall cuts off an area measuring 120m from NE to SW by 80m transversely (0.75ha). Heavily robbed, the line of the outer face can be traced over a distance of 35m, and a few inner facing stones also remain in place. The entrance is roughly in the centre and a line of six boulders flanking its SE side projects forward from the line of the outer face. The interior is featureless.
