On a gentle S-facing slope. Circular grass-covered area (int. diam. 20.5m N-S; 20m E-W) defined by the grass-covered base of a stone wall (Wth 1.6-1.8m; H 0.1-0.2m) W-N-E, a slight scarp (H 0.2m) at SE and a stone faced scarp at SW. There is no visible entrance, but a NNW-SSE field wall crosses the centre of the site.
