The National Monuments Service's description
An enclosure was identified by geophysical survey (Licence no. 07R0230 ext.) undertaken in advance of a road realignment scheme. The circular enclosure (25m diam.) is located 27m N of another enclosure DU015-118--- on the S-facing slope of a low E – W ridge. Internal responses indicative of pits and postholes have been identified suggesting an area of occupation or settlement (Harrison 2008, 8).
