H 1.7m), on S side of E-W field boundary which forms straight side of enclosure. Field fence removed beyond enclosure. Stone facing noted on N side. Field clearance stones scattered across interior. Interior and bank heavily overgrown with ferns. Interior raised on W side to compensate for hillslope.
