The National Monuments Service's description
At the W edge of a plateau, on a gentle S-facing slope in rough pasture, within a large multiperiod field system (CL009-084001-). Hachured on the 1842 and 1920 eds. of the OS 6-inch map. This very poorly preserved subcircular enclosure (c. 25m N-S; c. 23.5m E-W) is defined by a stone spread, which is best preserved at W (Wth 2-3m; H 0.2-1m). While it can hardly be traced between E and S (Wth 1m) traces of the outer wall-face are visible between ENE and ESE. It is overlain by a drystone field wall between ESE and SSE. Another drystone wall has been built inside the perimeter of the original wall between N and ENE. A house (CL009-084029-) lies c. 55m to the ENE and there is a hut site (CL009-084026-) c. 70m to the NE.
