The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight rise on the undulating floor of an E-W valley. Listed as 'Enclosure' in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). A subcircular overgrown area (int. dims. 40.9m E-W; 46.1m N-S) defined by an overgrown stone spread (Wth 6.5-7m; int. H 0.4-0.9m; ext. H 0.5-1.2m) with occasional facing stones visible (Wth 1.5m at ENE). The perimeter is overlain by a drystone field wall NW-N and field spoil obscures the outer edge of the stone spread NW-SE. The original entrance cannot be identified, and the interior is overlain by curved field walls at E and W. There is a hut-site (int. diam. 5.55m E-W; 5.5m N-S) defined by a double-faced wall (Wth 1.2m at E) and spill (Wth 2.4-3.2m) in the N interior, but its entrance is not visible.
