The National Monuments Service's description
A circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) hachured on the 1840 OS 6-inch map and indicated by a curving solid line on the 1940 edition. Visible on Digital Globe aerial imagery (2011-13) defined by a bank with a modern wall superimposed and with a possible annexe at NE. The enclosure is one of several in the area and lies within a system of fields (CL004-102----) most likely contemporary with possibly earlier elements.
