Field Visit (14 June 2010)
This enclosure is situated on a rise towards the E end of an area of rough moorland known as Stany Fields. Irregular on plan, it measures about 5m from N to S by 4m transversely within a drystone wall up to 0.8m high on the W. A later pen has been built into the NW corner of the enclosure, which appears to overlie the junction of two stony banks that form part of a large field-system.
