The enclosure is formed by partially closing off the eastern end of a steep rocky gully. At the W end a 14m length of walling, max. H.0.8m and W. 0.4m, runs N-S between steep rock faces. At the E end a 19m length of curving wall, max1m H, partially encloses the lower, open end of the gully. Within this E end there are the remains of a sub-circular hut site which is partially dug into the up-slope. It has internal measurements of c.5m E-W, c.4m N-S with max H of c.0.8m and Wth of c.0.8m. There is a possible entrance, 1m wide, at the W side.
