An approximately oval prehistoric enclosure on the lower southern slopes of Stall Down part of a large concentration of huts and enclosures spread across this location. The walls have been robbed though many boulders survive in situ or displaced set into a low spread turf covered stony bank or a shallow scarp. The southern edge of the enclosure has been partly overlain by a linear bank of spoil arising from the modern track which runs just below it. The interior area is 0.6 hectares. A ruinous hut circle is built against the slope into the enclosure at the northern end which survives as a turf covered stony mound with a levelled interior.
