Description
A subdivided rectangular enclosure measuring 37.5m (NNE-SSW) by 27m within low grassy banks 1.5m-2m wide and 0.3m high (0.75m max internally); there is a gap at the south end of the west side. The enclosure is slightly terraced into west-facing ground. The interior north=west corner is enclosed to the extent that it occupies most of the north end of the enclosure. Set on the south-east corner is a small square enclosure, possibly a hut, with an entrance gap near its internal north-west corner flanked on the west by a low bank. The raised character of this hut suggests it was positioned to facilitate observation of stock within the enclosure.
