The National Monuments Service's description
On a N-facing slope in pastureland, overlooking the Owenglanna valley. Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as subrectangular field and on the 1920 edition as a field boundary curving from SE through W to NE. On inspection in May 1984 it proved to be a subcircular drystone field wall (44.5m N-S), similar to others in the area. No trace of it survived from NE to SE where a low scarp indicated its outline. The current evidence is insufficient to warrant accepting this as an archaeological monument.
