Full Description
S18 (NL689987) Semi-circular enclosure, 7.2 x 6.9 m, built against a rock face. The rough boulder-built wall has an entrance gap at the north-west corner flanked by an external shelter 2.1 x 1.3 m built against the rock. In the centre of the enclosure there is a low round heap of stone blocks and some sort of structure seems to have stood there. A sheep-pen with shepherd's shelter, but the fuction of the central structure is unclear.
