On a slightly elevated area overlooking a short, steep slope to SE and a gentle slope to SW, in pasture with reasonable views. There are a lot of surface undulations and rock outcrop exposed across this field. Depicted on the 1840 edition OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. 40m) truncated by a field boundary (aligned c. E-W) across the N sector. Depicted as a penannular enclosure on the 25-inch OS map, where it is truncated by a field boundary (aligned NW-SE) across the NE-sector and is abutting a field boundary to SW. Depicted on the 1921 edition of the OS 6-inch map truncated by field boundaries (aligned NW-SE) across NE and SW-sectors. Not visible at ground level.
