------
Marked on the 1st edition OS map as Sheep Pen. Two enclosures making use of the rockface and boulders to form part of the walls:
1. A well preserved section of walling 3m long and 1.2m high connects a large boulder to the rockface. Parallel to this and 2m to the S, the low remains of another section of walling connect this boulder to a tumble of boulders which form the western boundary of the enclosure.
2. 10m W along the rockface, a second enclosure measuring 12m by 4m. The southern front section of wall is very tumbled but the side sections curving in to key into the rockface are well preserved and stand 1m high.
