The National Monuments Service's description
On a gently undulating karst plateau in rough pasture, within a large multiperiod field system (CL009-001001-). The E half of a possible circular enclosure (diam. c. 16m) is visible on OSi digitalglobe aerial imagery (2011-2013). It is defined by a grassed-over stone wall that curves from roughly N through E to S. A stone field boundary cuts across from N to S and no visible surface trace of it is visible at ground level. A field boundary, possibly associated, extends off the enclosure wall at E. Noted by Conn Herriott. Another enclosure (CL009-001033-) lies c. 79m to the ENE.
