The large enclosure is defined by a complete but slight earthen bank (Wth 6-8m; int. H 0.2-0.6m; ext. H 0.3-0.5m), with a drystone wall on top of it SE-W-NW. The entrance (Wth 4.5m) is at ENE, and an enclosure or annexe (RO041-040003-) which is a D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 49m N-S; 37m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 5.5-10m; int. H 0.2m; ext.
