This enclosure survives as a 1m-wide drystone dyke on three sides; the fourth (on the N) is more poorly-preserved. Four small cairns and one larger one are situated to the N of the wall and may represent rubble from the gaps in the wall.

There is no enclosure at this location. The CFA surveyors appear to have identified the limits of an area of unimproved ground, the edges of which are, in part, defined by contiguous dumps of field cleared stones.
