The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in an area of karst with some grass cover. A small ridge rises c. 50m to the N. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). On inspection in 1998 this was found to be a modern enclosure (diam. c. 22m) defined by a drystone wall (H 1.4m). A holy well (CL009-006001-) and penitential station (CL009-006002-) lie c. 90m to the W.
