The National Monuments Service's description

See field inspection report (diary NF6, 40-1) (SMR file). According to the report this enclosure was shown on the 1846 ed. OSi 6-inch map, but by the 2nd edition (1892), it had been levelled. There is now no visible surface trace of the enclosure. Small circular-shaped earthwork intersected at N by a field boundary running E-W on 1841 ed. OSi 6-inch map. Outline of levelled enclosure (diam. c. 19m) visible on Digital Globe aerial image taken between 2011-13.
