A circular sheepfold, which is situated on the edge of boggy ground about 250m NW of Reidchalmai, measures 17.6m in diameter within an earthen bank 0.9m thick and 0.25m high. It has been cut by the ditch of a field-bank on the E.

------------------
This site was visited as a part of a walkover survey in August 2009. It is not a sheepfold and rather than being cut by a ditch it abuts onto it. The banks are too low to ascertain whether this was intended to enclose or exclude livestock, but access to a section of the watercourse may suggest a small animal enclosure. <1>
