The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on level ground E of a farmyard. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). A small enclosure is indicated beside a farmhouse on the 1916 OS 6-inch map. On inspection in 1997 this was found to be a small rectangular haggard (22m x 23m) defined by a single well-built drystone wall.
