Summary

Enclosure measures circa 60 metres by 35 metres and is defined by sinuous rubble walling up to 2.2 metres wide by 0.5 metres high but partly spread and damaged towards the south-west. There are occasional large edging stones on the south side. A gap in the centre of the south wall is not certainly an original entrance; at present a small stream which rises within the enclosure flows through it.
