A circular earthwork feature sited near the junction of two enclosures, formerly described as a hut circle, is almost certainly military and of late 19th century date. It is most probably a mortar or artrillery position. It has a sharply defined earth embankment of 9 metres diameter. Two small slit shaped pits nearby would have been ammunition stores. Several craters are scattered to the east of the position.
