The National Monuments Service's description
Situated just off the summit of a hill. Listed as 'Enclosure, possible' in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). A fragment of a bank is hachured on the 1921 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. An arc of a grass-covered earthen bank (Wth 3-3.8m; int. H 0.2-0.6m; ext. H 0.4-0.5m) survives SW-NE (18.7m NE-SW; 17m NW-SE) but the perimeter can be traced as a slight scarp (max. H 0.1m) elsewhere. There is no visible fosse or entrance.
