The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in a slight natural hollow on high ground. Listed as 'Enclosure' in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). On inspection in 1998 this was found to be an oval enclosure (diam. c. 14m) defined by a drystone wall of apparently modern construction with a small gap at NNE. There is a conjoined enclosure (diam. c. 7m) at N.
