A circular area (10.6m E-W; 10m N-S) defined by the partially grass-covered ruins of a drystone wall (T 0.8m; H 0.4m) protruding above the surface of the bog. There is an entrance (Wth 0.7m) at SE. A field boundary abuts the enclosure at S. There is a possible fulacht fia (KE102-062003-) c. 5m to the SE.
