The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle SW-facing pasture slope. Hachured on both the first edition (1842) and later, Cassini edition (1916) of the OS 6-inch map. This almost completely levelled, circular enclosure (est. diam. c. 45m) is partly traceable in satellite imagery (Aerial Premium 2013-2018), where the SE-WSW arc of its low enclosing bank (est. Wth c. 4.5m) is faintly visible. There is another levelled enclosure (CL011-025002-) c. 8m to the SE.
