Full Description

A trackway runs N and S down a W-facing slope in Gleann Mhairtein. At its N end there is an enclosure situated on a terrace covered with lazy-bed cultivation, and at its S end a solitary pen. Sub-circular on plan, the enclosure (Muck02 191) measures about 8.5m in diameter within a stony bank faced with numerous edge-set stones. There is a field clearance heap immediately to the E, and the vestigial remains of another enclosure lie about 14m to the N. The pen (Muck02 189) measures 1.6m by 1m overall, its bank incorporating a boulder that forms the SE end.
