Description
A large enclosure of drystone rubble and boulders, now tumbled in many places. There is a kidney shaped shelter or hut in the NE corner. The enclosure is situated on sloping gournd from a crag down to a nant. There is an entrance in the W wall and a possible entrace in the E wall, obscured by tumble. It is possible that the enclosure was sub-divided - there is a line of stones that suggests this. Overall 21m x 25m with walls 1.2m high approximately. Walls are about 1m thick.
