Site '2' in the Langcombe valley includes a small circular enclosure with part of a further enclosure to the south. This larger enclosure lying close to the 'leat' is open to the north with less than half the circuit complete. A partly demolished hut circle of circa 3.5 metres diameter lies close to the south side of the boundary with an even smaller setting of stones of uncertain function to the east.
