The National Monuments Service's description
On a terrace in exposed karst with some grass cover with rising ground to the E and within a multiperiod field system (CL005-227004-). Partially indicated as a curving field boundary on the 1916 6-inch OS map. A circular enclosure (int. diam. 10.5m) defined by a low overgrown stone wall (Wth 1-2.5m) overlain by a drystone field wall on its E side. A slab wall abuts the enclosure at SW. A circular hut site (CL005-227002-) occupies the centre of the enclosure. A larger enclosure (CL005-227003-) is located c. 40m to the WSW.
