The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a shelf of rock outcrop in an area of scrub. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). Visible on a high altitude aerial photograph (HSL 9218/9). On inspection in 1997 this was found to be a circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) defined by a drystone wall (H 1m). There was no evidence of stone facing or spread from an older wall.
