Full Description

A low field bank runs in an arc northwards for c. 50m from the NW angle of enclosure V54.4. Its N end abuts a small sub-circular structure located on a low bedrock knoll. The structure measures c. 3m across within a grassed stone wall preserved to c. 0.6m wide by up to 0.4m high. Its entrance appears to lie on the S wall. An area of disturbed ground immediately E of the building probably indicates the presence of further remains in this area, although nothing coherent could be traced. A grassed stone wall c. 1m wide and up to 0.5m high can be traced running E from the structure for c. 40m, its W end located c. 10m east of the building, and its E end from the high water mark.
