The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture. Broadly oval area (c. 55m NE–SW; c. 50m NW–SE) visible on aerial photographs (SMR file). A field boundary/hedgerow, on a NNW–SSE axis, bisects the enclosure to the E of centre. In one aerial view the three-quarters of the enclosure which lies to the W of the fence is defined from SW–N by a raised arc of vegetation, possibly indicating a surviving bank or scarp. To the E of the fence, the enclosure appears to have been levelled. There is another enclosure (LF022-025----) c. 120m to the SE and a possible rath (LF022-024----) c. 300m to the NNW.
