Full Description

Walls stand to a maximum height of five courses or 0.95m, and to an average height of four courses. The wall has an average width of 1.65m and the circle has an external diameter of 7.8m E-W and 9.1m N-S. There is a D-shaped addition on the N side and a small internal subdivision
to the SW. There are doorways in the NW (1. 0m wide) and the NE (0.75m wide). On the S side is a small hornwork which may indicate an earlier blocked doorway on this side. The hornwork terminates in a rectangular box-like structure (c. 2m wide) of large boulders.
