The National Monuments Service's description

Within the NE-sector of a subcircular enclosure (CL035-029----). A rectangular area (10m NW-SE; 7m NE-SW) defined by the barely traceable remains of a levelled scarp (Wth 2m; H 0.05m). The interior is generally level and both this enclosure and the main enclosure (CL035-029----) have been incorporated into the rest of the field as pasture.
