The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pastureland with outcropping limestone pavement to the N and NW and within a large field system (CL008-109001-). A subcircular enclosure (c. 16m N-S; 15m E-W) is visible on Digital Globe (2011-2013) and Geohive MapGenie orthophotography (2013-2018) as an overgrown wall. It may be associated with the enclosure (CL008-152----) c. 12m to the E. Some later paddocks lie between the two enclosures.
