The remains of a circular enclosure were discovered adjacent to the deserted cottage at NH 7971 9893, about halfway up the slope of a hill. From its dimensions and location it is possibly a hut circle. It measures 9.0m in diameter from top of bank to top of bank, the spread of which varies from 2.0m to 3.0m and 0.5m high, with an apparent entrance 1.5m wide in the S.
Surveyed at 1:2500.
