In hilly pasture, located the summit of on a steep-sided, oval-shaped knoll. Roughly oval area (int. dim. 21m E–W; 15m N–S) defined by a low stone wall (Wth 1.3m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.25m) which is best defined S–W. An arc of wall (L c. 7.5m; Wth 0.6m; H 0.2m) bisects the centre of the interior, curving from S-NE. In the N half of the interior there is an L-Shaped sunken depression (L 8.5m; max. Wth 2.5m; D c. 0.5m) which may be a collapsed souterrain (SL020-008004-).
