The National Monuments Service's description
This record was listed as 'Enclosure' in the SMR (1987). On the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map it is indicated as a hachured roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 39m). The revised 1900 ed. only shows the curving W side, with hachures facing inward indicating a depression and rock outcrop is indicated within the area of the enclosure. On field inspection in 1987 this was found to be a quarry, however, its depiction on the 1st ed. map and the fact that the W curve of the enclosure was retained, suggests that this may have been a ringfort but that it was completely quarried out. Satellite imagery (Digitalglobe viewed 28 May 2019) suggests that the quarry has since been infilled and is now under grass.
