The National Monuments Service's description
Towards the top of the E-facing slope of Carnaun Hill. Hachured as a ringfort on the 1840 OS 6-inch map and indicated as a trapezoidal area defined by field walls on the 1920 Cassini edition. Listed as ‘Enclosure’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). On inspection in 1999 there were no visible traces at ground level and much of the area had been reclaimed.
