The National Monuments Service's description
Indicated as a subcircular tree-covered enclosure on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, it is represented as an embanked enclosure on the OS 25-inch plan (1911). It was levelled in the late 1960s (SMR file) and the visible remains comprise a subcircular enclosure (40m NNW-SSE; 30m WSW-ENE) defined by a very low bank and fosse. This is likely to be a landscape feature associated with Lissard House.
