The National Monuments Service's description
On an elevated ridge of rough pasture within a large multiperiod field system (CL005-104001-).
A roughly circular enclosure (diam. 65m) defined by a partially grassed-over stone bank (Wth 2.2m; H 0.2-0.7m). A smaller, more recent, enclosure (diam. c. 15) is built in the SE sector and runs up onto the bank at SE. Later parallel strip field walls, orientated WSW-ENE, extend across the enclosure and a modern trackway cuts through the N sector. A large irregularly shaped enclosure (CL005-060002-) lies c. 100m to the W.
