On a slight rise overlooking lower pastureland to the E. Marked on the 3rd edition of the OS 6-inch map (1921) as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m). Apart from a low irregular rise, which is quarried out at E and W, no visible surface trace survives. A possible house site (GA123-039001-) lies immediately to the NW.
