Summary
A large mound can be seen a few metres inside the gate of the walled enclosure. The mound follows the slope and has flanking ditches for drainage. There is a fairly well-defined track running through the walled enclosure along the contour and this starts just above the mound. As the mound is in line with the gate and track and seems to be isolated and to have a stony top, it may be part of the track (ntas).
