The area of the enclosures was heavily overgrown with bracken. The basal course of a drystone wall, composed of sub-angular stone blocks, was located at the south side of the southern enclosure.

The sheepfold was a multicellular structure defined by drystone walls oriented east-west. The structure was sub-rectangular in plan and measured 30m eastwest by 25m transversely. The walls were composed of sub-angular grey stone blocks measuring between 0.2m by 0.2m by 0.1m and 0.6m by 0.3m by 0.4m. The walls had a maximum height of 1.3m wide and 0.6m wide.
