The National Monuments Service's description
In mixed farmland. Marked on the 1933 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) with a NW-SE running field boundary cutting through it at NNW and ESE. On inspection in May 1983 all that survived was an arc of drystone walling from NNW through N to E. No trace survived to the SE of the field wall. The current OSi digitalglobe aerial photograph shows that farm buildings have since been built immediately to the NE of the wall.
