The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a NW slope in an area of high rocky ground. Listed as 'Enclosure' in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). On inspection in 1998 this was found to be an enclosure (diam. c. 13m) defined by a drystone wall of apparently modern date within a larger field.
