The National Monuments Service's description
Situated at the bottom of a S-facing slope within a field system (CL009-084001-). Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). Indicated on a 1st ed. OS 6-inch map set annotated by Westropp. On inspection in 1998 this was found to be a rectangular enclosure (int. dims. 35m E-W; 26m N-S) of modern construction defined by a double-faced drystone wall (Wth 1m; H 1.5m) on the N and E sides and by simple rough drystone walls at S and W. There is an entrance on the E side.
