Full Description
Remains of a building and enclosure. The building has rounded ends, but no stone-work visible and there is no apparent entrance. The enclosure, circa 6m to the north, is of similar construction and is probably an associated stock pen. Some 6m southwest of the building is a roughly circular depression, bounded by an irregular sandy bank. Its purpose cannot be ascertained and it may be natural, caused by sand blow. Almost contiguous on the southwest side is another depression, which is probably a wartime shell-hole.
