NM47NW 24 42047 78744
An enclosure, a possible building and a pen lie at the foot of a slope at the rear of this terrace, which has also been cultivated with lazy-beds. The enclosure is pentagonal on plan and measures 8.5m by 5.6m within a boulder wall; the entrance is on the downslope side and opens to the S. A subrectangular spread of rubble lying immediately upslope to the NE may be all that now remains of a building. The pen is situated 8m to the NE, at the base of a large boulder at the foot of the crag. It measures 3.9m by 2.9m over a bank of boulders.
