Listed as 'Enclosure' in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996) and hachured as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on the 1842 and 1920 eds. of the OS 6-inch map. A D-shaped overgrown area (dims. c. 30m E-W; c. 15m N-S) defined by an overgrown stone spread (Wth 4-6m; max. int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.8-1m) W-E, but no facing stones are evident. The S part of the perimeter has been removed and the spoil runs E-W across the centre.
