Remains of sub-circular stone-walled enclosure, with other walls in the vicinity, recorded by aerial photography in 1981. It was recorded by RCAHMS site visit in 1999. It is probably a stock enclosure. A linear bank was also recorded to the east. A walkover survey carried out by S Farrell in January 2019 (NJ60SE0060). The enclosure measures 25m in internal diameter with walls spread to 2m and standing 0.3m high. It is denuded in places, more visible to the west and south than the north and east. The bank to the east was not discernible in long grass.
