Full Description
A circular feature with a raised bank, which from a distance was thought to be a hut circle, proved to be smaller and deeper on close inspection. It has a dished centre about 1 m deep with the remains of a tree root off centre. It is 6 m in diameter with what looked like an entrance on the northwest side though this may be coincidental. It could be a tree hole or a 'bomb crater' but cause or purpose not really known.
