The National Monuments Service's description
In flat farmland in an area of outcropping rock. Marked on the OS 6-inch maps as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) which was clipped by a NNE-SSW running road at SE. Apart from a short length of drystone walling (L 12; Wth 1.84m; H 0.25m) at NE, no visible surface trace survives.
