The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a W-facing slope, overlooking a river valley to the W. This possible enclosure is not visible at ground level. On inspection the only feature noted was a slight rise (H 0.05m) containing two earthfast stones whose upper surface is scarcely above ground level. This possible enclosure is visible as a shadow site in an aerial photograph (GSIAP, Q 196-7) taken in 1977. On this aerial photograph, an arc of a possible bank ENE-W is visible which may be the remains of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 25).
