The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on SE-facing slope. Roughly circular area (diam. 30m) enclosed by stone bank (int. H 1.32m; ext. H 1.2m) NNE->NNW, and by recent earth and stone bank (int. H 1.55m; ext. H 1.4m) NNW->NNE (this area is open on 1923 OS 6-inch map). Stone bank is poorly preserved; vertical external wall-like face along E arc. Slight protrusion on external bank face at SE where two converging field boundaries, now removed, formerly abuted enclosure. At NNW a short stretch of dry-stone walling connects enclosure to field boundary. Interior surface is uneven; used as dump for earth, stones and general debris.
