The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a broad limestone plateau. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). An enclosure was visible on an aerial photograph (HSL 9102/03). On inspection in 2007 this was found to be a rectangular drystone walled enclosure (int. dims. 17.2m N-S; 16.1m E-W) of relatively modern construction built of transversely laid slabs (wall Wth 0.5-0.6m; H 0.5-0.8m up to 1m). There is an entrance (Wth 0.8m) at S.
