A poorly preserved subcircular enclosure (N-S 26.5m; E-W 24.5m), defined by the intermittent remains of a grassed-over bank of stone which is overlain from SE to NNE by modern field walls. The interior contains a possible collapsed clochan (GA110-100001-), a low circular grassy mound of stone (D 7.4m) with a hollow in centre.
