Enclosure
This turf banked enclosure survives on its north and east side, running north-south for 60 m and east for 40 m. This enclosure is truncated by the roadway, immediately to the north of which are a series of 3 m long terraces that are oriented east-west. Within the larger enclosure is a wall that runs north-south that appears to differentiate between high quality grazing to the west and an area of bedrock otcropping to the east.
