The National Monuments Service's description
In a fold on a W-facing slope, in rough pasture within a multiperiod field system (CL009-166001-). This small subcircular enclosure (int. dims. 11m NW-SE; 9m NE-SW) is defined by a grass-covered collapsed stone wall (Wth 1-1.5m; H 0.2-0.4m). Some stones in the wall appear to be placed with their long axis pointing toward the centre of the enclosure. Other enclosures (CL009-196001- and CL009-252----) lie c. 27m to the S and c. 40m to the NNE respectively. There is a cairn (CL009-196002-) c. 30m to the WNW.
