The National Monuments Service's description
Situated near the W base of a steep ridge. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). Visible on an aerial photograph (GSIAP R 150). On inspection in 1999 this was found to be an enclosure (diam. c. 25m) of apparently modern construction defined by a narrow enclosing wall of loose stones. There are three small clearance cairns near the centre.
