The National Monuments Service's description
In low-lying pasture, on S edge of limestone outcrop. Monument, depicted on 1841 OS 6-inch map as roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m), has been levelled. However, a curved section of dry-stone field wall (H c. 1m; Wth c. 0.65m), defining a semicircular area (20m N-S; 36.5m E-W) WNW->E, respects line of enclosure. Area of enclosure, under pasture, slopes down gently to S.
