The National Monuments Service's description
On the summit of Constable Hill, under pasture. A trigonometric station showing a height of 760ft above sea level is indicated on the 1st and revised ed. of the 6-inch OS map within the area of the enclosure, though the enclosure itself is not indicated.
A roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 56m), defined by a fosse on satellite imagery (Google Earth imagery, 3 April 2013 and 7 June 2013), identified and reported by Ivor Kenny. A field boundary runs roughly NNE-SSW through the eastern portion of the enclosure and the enclosure is less clear E of this field boundary. A bullaun stone (CW004-042----) is located c. 270m SE of the enclosure and there is a cist (CW009-012----) c. 540m to the SE.
