The National Monuments Service's description
Toward the bottom of a S-facing slope in pasture. Recorded on the first edition (1842) of the OS 6-inch map as an oval ringfort (est. diams. c. 30m NW-SE; c. 26m NE-SW) but with only the south-western perimeter (SSE-S-WSW) indicated on the later OS 25-inch plan (1897) and on the Cassini edition (1920) of the OS 6-inch map. When inspected in 1998, no visible surface traces were found. A second levelled enclosure (CL017-080----) lies c. 110m to the NW.
