The National Monuments Service's description
In fairly level, ‘improved’ pasture. Hachured on the OS 25-inch plan (1897) as a circular mound (est. diam. c. 16m) and also hachured on the Cassini edition (1920) of the OS 6-inch map. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). No visible surface trace was found when inspected in 1998. The cropmark of the monument site is visible in satellite imagery (MapGenie Imagery 1995; MapGenie Digital Globe 2011-2013; MapGenie Imagery 2013-2018) and subsurface archaeological features may survive intact.
A larger enclosure (CL017-017002-) recorded on the OS only c. 10m to the ESE has also been levelled.
