The National Monuments Service's description
Situated immediately E of henge (LI013-094002-), on the E slope of a steep hill in rolling pasture with good views from NE to SE. This enclosure was identified from an aerial photography (Bruff 4; 4/3749) as a possible enclosure. The site is now obscured by dense scrub vegetation but a short section of a scarped edge (Wth 5.6m; H 1.1m) is evident at E.
