A small circular enclosure (diam. 8m), defined by an enclosing stone spread (Wth 1.4m-1.6m; H 0.2m) representing a collapsed and robbed-out stone wall. Stone is also scattered across the interior. One of a number of 'small rings of stones' noted by Price in 1937 (Corlett and Weaver 2002 Vol. 1, 286). (See also WI029-019----, WI029-020001-, WI029-020002- and WI029-022----).
