This appears as a scoop from the slope with the spoil thrown downhill to give a circular level area measuring 4m in diameter. Granite boulders around the platform and just below may be the remnants of walling or simply material used in construction. This platform may have supported a small roundhouse or a charcoal burners' hearth.
