(i) A rectangular enclosure, defined by turf banks and aligned at 900 to the coast, lies 3m from the cliff edge. The banks are up to 0.9m wide and 0.3m high; the enclosed area measures 5.9m by 11.9m. the ground inside is not level; a natural rise runs through the centre of the enclosure. A quantity of loose stone, strewn about in the area, may have been part of the banks.
(ii) An area, measuring 13m by 4m, has been stripped of turf in the past, and now appears as a slight depression. It lies 5m from the cliff edge. The 'cut' is up to 0.2m deep and has vertical sides. The turf may have been removed for the construction of the nearby enclosure, see (i) above.
(iii) A second rectangular depression, measuring 14m by 4m and up to 0.2m deep, is aligned parallel to the coast and close to (ii). It may also represent a source for the turf used in the construction of the enclosure (i).
