On a rise in an undulating karst landscape. A circular overgrown area (diam. 26m E-W) defined by a stone spread (at W: Wth 4m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.7m), but a large section of this is missing at E. There is no visible entrance or facing stones. An enclosure (CL033-070----) stood c. 120m to the E but is not visible at ground level.
