The National Monuments Service's description
In rough, stony pasture, straddles the gentle SE-facing slope of a low rise of limestone outcropping. Oval or oblong area (c. 14m NW–SE; 8m NE–SW) defined by remnants of a stone wall (Wth 1m; 0.3m). The wall appears as a low, gapped, moss-covered stone bank, barely discernible in parts. The interior is bisected centrally on a roughly E–W axis, by an irregular band of moss-covered stones but it is not clear if these represent a ruined wall or natural bedrock seam.
There is an enclosure (DG103-088----) 40m to NW and another enclosure (DG103-089----) located 25m to NE.
