Visible on aerial photograph (GSIAP R2/13). On lower ESE slope of Knockmore Hill. Circular area (D c. 80m) enclosed by a stone-faced earthen bank (H 1.5m; Wth c. 2.4m). Area very heavily overgrown at time of inspection by ASI (September 1987) and a possible hut site (CW022-026002-) visible on the aerial photograph (GSIAP R2/13) and a dividing wall depicted on the 1908 'OS 6-inch' map were difficult to identify on the ground.
