The National Monuments Service's description
In an area of scrubland and outcropping rock. Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 27m). No visible surface trace survives. The slightly curving field boundary shown on the 1922 edition of the map at this point at SW may mirror its outline.
