The National Monuments Service's description
On a shelf on a W-facing slope in reclaimed pasture. Indicated on the 1920 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a possible enclosure (c. 35m N-S; c. 34m E-W), roughly subcircular in plan. Apart from a section of overgrown walling at N, which is partly obscured by a stone spoil heap, no visible surface trace survives. The field walls in the area have been cleared as a result of land reclamation. Due to the dense overgrowth on the wall it was not possible to determine its nature. A cliff-edge fort (CL009-172001-) lies c. 167m to the NW.
