The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the N shoulder of a gorge which deepens further to the E. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ on the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). On inspection this was found to be a circular enclosure (diam. 18m) defined by a loosely built stone wall (W 1.3m) of apparently modern construction.
