For field-system, lazy-beds and field clearance cairns between NG 2295 0509 and NG 2371 0556, see NG20NW 131.01.

This enclosure, which is depicted on the current (1976) edition of the OS 1:10,000 map, is situated in a shallow depression in an area of lazy-bed cultivation to the NE of a ruinous field-wall (for which, see NG20NW 131.01). It is polygonal on plan and measures 5.6m from N to S by 4.9m within a boulder wall 0.6m in thickness and up to 1m in height. A break in the wall in the NNE is probably the result of stone robbing. What are probably the remains of a small hut lie at the foot of a knoll 13m to the E. It measures 3.5m by 2.7m over a wall of boulders, some of which on the E have been removed and are strewn across the interior.
(Canna 443-4).
