The National Monuments Service's description
In level pasture. This monument was identified from an aerial photograph (Bruff Survey: map 22, Bruff 109). It has been levelled and there was no evident trace of it when site inspected. Described by Doody (2008, 130) as a 'subcircular ditched enclosure, c. 33m x 30m'; the morphology of this enclosure indicates that it may be Bronze Age in date (ibid.).
