OS 1:10,000 map, (1970)
An oval enclosure, which has probably been a cattle or sheep-fold. It is oval, measuring 16m E-W by 12m N-S with a probable entrance about 2m wide in the SE. The wall has been of stone but survives as a bank of earth and stone on the south side and as a stony scarp on the north or downhillside. The scarp is about 0.8m high and the bank 2m wide and 0.5m high. Abutting the inside of the scarp on the north side is the outline of a probable rectangular structure 5m by 2m.
