The National Monuments Service's description
On mixed karst and scrub but with a strip of improved pasture running NE-SW immediately to the N and another running NW-SE to the SW. Hachured on the first edition (1842) of the OS 6-inch map and indicated on the OS 25-inch plan (1897) and Cassini edition (1920) of the OS 6-inch map. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the RMP (1996). This subcircular enclosure (int. diam. 27m E-W) is defined by a loose wall (Wth 1.3-1.4m; int. H 1-1.2m; ext. H 1m) and associated collapse, with a noticeable angle at E. At N, the wall is reduced to footings (Wth 1.8-2m).
