Remains of a large north-south enclosure, without interior scooping. The entrance at the southeast has a semi-circular arrangement of small stones like a porch. The wall on the northeast and west sides expand to accommodate three cup-like hollows or cells circa 1.52m in diameter and 1.20-1.50m deep. The enclosure apparently overlays a hut circle. Part of a more extensive field system/settlement (NJ40SW0007).
