At the bottom of a gentle NW-facing slope within the field system (RO039-065002-). Subcircular grass-covered area (int. dims 30m N-S; 26m) defined by a grass-covered stone spread (Wth 1.7-3.1m; int. H 0.15-0.3m; ext. H 0.25-0.35m). There is an entrance (Wth 2.2m) at SSW, and the interior is bisected by an E-W drystone wall.
