Within the field system on Cuckoo Ball there is a lateral reave to the west off the north-south reave. On the north side of this reave, near the north-south reave is an enclosure. Only the north wall stands, not more than 300 millimetres high. The enclosure appears to have been about 12 metres diameter. Its south side merges with the lateral reave.
