The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in a slight natural hollow in a very rocky area with restricted visibility. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). On inspection this was found to be an irregular enclosure (diam. c. 55m) defined by a loosely built drystone wall of apparently modern construction. The wall has been removed along the W sector. A smaller enclosure overlapping this one at S also appears to be of modern construction.
