The National Monuments Service's description
In a coniferous wood, on a S-facing slope, on the E bank of a river. Access to the area was difficult due to a dense undergrowth which hindered inspection. This possible enclosure is indicated by a dashed line defining an oval area (c. 40m N-S; c. 30m E-W) on the 1882 OS 6-inch map. There is no local knowledge of this possible enclosure.
