The National Monuments Service's description
On a level plateau, in rough pasture on a karst landscape with excellent views across the valley S-WSW and distant views WSW-NW. Identified as a circular enclosure on aerial photography (Digital Globe 2015). A circular area (8m N-S; 9m E-W) defined by the scant, low-profile remains of a collapsed drystone wall (int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.35m; T 0.9m). There are intermittent gaps where the enclosing elements no longer survive and may have been used to build the adjacent field wall (long axis NW-SE) c. 1.5m to ENE. The interior is generally level. Thorn trees are located at N and ENE.
