The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, located on a relatively level area on the gently undulating top of Twomilestone ridge. The outline of this small enclosure is barely discernible. It consists of a subcircular area (diam. 10-12m) defined on its perimeter by levelled wall or bank which is visible as a slightly raised undulation (Wth 1.5-2m) marked by differential vegetation growth. It appears to be incorporated into a network of relict field boundaries (DG103-057001-) defining sub-rectangular fields.
