The National Monuments Service's description
Close to the edge of a SE-facing escarpment overlooking a marshy area. Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 34m); on the 1921 map edition it is more D-shaped in plan. No visible surface trace survives.
