Abutting a rock outcrop there is what is probably a pen and a stack-base. At the centre of the stack-base there is an upright stone 0.35m high.

Field Visit (13 October 2010)
The structure identified in 1983 as a stack stand comprises a subcircular platform, edged with a kerb of large stones, at the centre of which there is a single edge-set slab. Its SE arc is overlain by a small rectangular enclosure, which in turn has a lambing pen built into its N corner.
