Summary

Enclosure to the north of the main enclosure with hut circles. The enclosure measures 35 metres in diameter and is defined by a partly faced rubble wall 1.7 metres wide and 0.7 metres high. A gap in the southern circuit of this wall may represent an original entrance. A 5.5 metre diameter ring of stones protruding through the turf lies on the western side of the entrance and probably represents a stone hut circle.
