Enclosure

The National Monuments Service's description

On an E-facing slope, in pasture. Depicted only on the 1841 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a circular area (diam. c. 17.5m). A circular area (diam. 14m) which is defined by a bank (int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.5m; Wth at top 1.4m; overall Wth 4.3m). The bank appears to be predominantly of stone, although it is grassed over. An intermittent kerb is visible on the bank exterior W-NW, defined by at least six upright stones (H 0.3-0.6m; Wth 0.2m). There is a possible entrance at N where the bank is low. There is no trace of an outer fosse. The interior is level and grass covered with some rock outcrop across the E sector. Ash trees are growing on the bank exterior NW-NE and there are some dense clumps of vegetation to the W and NE of the monument. A field boundary (long-axis N-S), which is not depicted on OS mapping, abuts to W. Ruins of old stone buildings depicted on OS mapping are visible to the E of the monument
