The National Monuments Service's description
On a terrace on the W-facing slope of a hillock and with a small pond 30m away to the NNW. Listed as 'Enclosure' in the RMP (1996). A poorly preserved roughly circular grass-covered area (int. diam. 58m N-S; E-W) defined by an overgrown stone spread (Wth 2.2-2.3m E-S to 5m at N; int. H 0.2-0.6m; ext. H 0.7m at E to 1.4-2m W-N) overlain by a stone wall with facing stones visible at E (Wth 2.2m). There are entrances, probably modern, at W (Wth 2.4m) and S (Wth 2m).
