At least nine separate enclosures were identified (TS077-015003-, TS077-015004-, TS077-015005-, TS077-015006-, TS077-015007-, TS077-015008-, TS077-015009-, TS077-015010-, TS077-015011-). Immediately E of enclosure (TS077-015006-) there is a long, roughly rectangular structure (dims. 18.5m N-S; 42m E-W) defined by scarp.
