The National Monuments Service's description
Situated at the S edge of a plateau in a karst area with grass cover. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). Visible on a high altitude aerial photograph (HSL 9102/03). On inspection in 1998 this was found to be a circular enclosure (ext. diam. 25.3m E-W; 25.2m N-S) defined by the remnants of a drystone wall with large gaps. From WSW to SE only the basal stones of the wall survive with the long axes pointing in towards the centre.
