The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight rise in an area of reclaimed pastureland and outcropping limestone. Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m). No visible surface trace survived in the early 1950s when McCaffrey (1952, 270, no. 25a) surveyed the area.
