The National Monuments Service's description

In a small hollow between two expanses of limestone pavement. Limited views of gently undulating rough pasture in immediate vicinity. Identified as a circular enclosure on aerial photography (Digital Globe (2015). It consists of a small circular area (6.5m N-S; 5.5m E-W) defined by the remains of a low sod and moss-covered wall (int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.4m; T 1.3m). The enclosing elements are easily traceable, yet intermittent and there is no obvious entrance. The interior is generally level and contains some small, moss-covered stones. The monument has clearly been sited here for shelter. A large enclosed field is situated c. 15m to NE and an enclosure (CL006-155----) is situated c. 68m to ENE.
