The National Monuments Service's description
This is one of two enclosures (see also GA103-016005-) recorded by McCaffrey (1952, 178-9, no. 119) that were associated with a rectangular 'Stone Fort' (GA103-016----). Annotated 'D', this enclosure (6m x 3.6m) was defined by walls composed of single lines of boulders set on edge. No visible surface trace survives.
