The National Monuments Service's description
In fallow arable land at the W edge of mixed woodland, c. 2m to immediate SW of church (CL035-089001-) and abutting graveyard (CL035-089002-). Not depicted on OS historic mapping. A semi-circular area (12m NNW-SSE; 11m ENE-WSW) defined by a collapsed sod-covered rubble stone wall (int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.3m; Wth at top 0.65m; overall Wth 2.75m) SSE-N. The monument is defined by a later field boundary (long-axis NNW-SSE) along the straight side to ENE. The interior is generally clear, with loose stone in places and possibly rock outcrop off-centre to E. Thorn trees and some Ash grow on top of the enclosing elements WSW-N. There is no apparent entrance gap. There is no extant evidence that the enclosure continues into the graveyard to ENE.
