The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in a high, flat, rocky area with good views in all directions. Listed as ‘Enclosure in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). On inspection in 1998 this was found to be a rectangular enclosure (int. diam. 21m NW-SE; 28m NNE-SSW) defined by an apparently modern, drystone wall (max. T 0.8m) with the stones leaning against one another. The interior is flat and full of sheets of rock.
