Enclosure
Measuring 9.0 metres by 12.0 metres this rectilinear enclosure consists of drystone walls utilising sporadic natural boulders and sits on a slight terrace that can be seen on its northwest side. No entrance can be discerned, suggesting that this enclosure is a "potato" field. A turf and stone dyke runs from the west corner in a southerly direction.
Field walking on 28/6/94.
