An oval enclosure bounded by a bank of earth and stone, with an outer ditch to the west and north. The entrance would appear to have been on the north side and is blocked by modern walling. Almost opposite this entrance on the south east side of the enclosure is another gap, but it is not clear if this was an original entrance or a later mutilation. In the centre is a very low circular platform, but it is too slight to identify as a hut. The feature has been interpreted as a settlement or stock enclosure with a central barrow or hut circle.
