The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on an E-facing slope in an area of exposed karst with some hazel scrub. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). Indicated by a solid line on the 1916 OS 6-inch map. On inspection in 1999 this was found to be a small enclosure (int. diam. 15m) of apparently modern construction defined by drystone wall.
