1. A complex of generally curvilinear stone-walled enclosures, c.100m E-W by 50m overall, set on ground falling to the S, much robbed; two focal features are apparent:
a possible circular structure, c.7.0m in diameter, at SH71006394, set in the S part of a D-shaped enclosure, 34m along its straight N edge, by 36m, the enclosure having well defined entrances at the N of its E & W sides;
a rectangular, two-cell structure, 14m NNW-SSE by 7.0m, at given NGR; the enclosures joining & adjacent to these features are generally irregular & may retain traces of further, possibly circular structures.
