The National Monuments Service's description
On a N-facing slope on an undulating plateau of rough pasture and karst limestone, within a multiperiod field system (CL005-108001-), c. 30m to the N of a farmyard. Hachured on the 1842 and 1916 eds. of the OS 6-inch map. A subcircular enclosure (ext. dims. 26m N-S; 23.5m E-W) defined by a drystone wall (ext. H 0.8-1.3m); double-facing is visible at E (L 7m; Wth 1m; ext. H 1m). A grass-covered spread of stones (Wth 1.5–2.5m; H 0.3–0.5m) is visible at the base of the wall internally from SW to N to SE. Field walls extend off the enclosure at E, SSW and NW.
