NR 78321 92154 Several upright stones, up to 0.4m high, form an intermittent circle about 9.5m in diameter. The circle is completed by a low, grass covered bank and there are no visible internal features. With a diameter of 9.5m this could be termed a hut circle rather than a homestead. It is located on a slight rise.

Field Visit (May 1985)
This enclosure, which has been severely disturbed by forestry planting and felling, stands on a level terrace about 400m WNW of South Leachnaban. An area about 10m in diameter has been enclosed by a ruined wall about 1.2m thick, whose surviving traces are a number of inner and outer facing-stones; no core material can, however, now be seen.
