The National Monuments Service's description
In gently undulating, improved pasture. Farm buildings stand immediately to SE.
This enclosure is not shown on the 1837-8 OS 6-inch map. It is depicted on the 1922 edition as a roughly circular area (diam. c. 15m) defined by a double ring of hachuring, truncated at N−NE by a road. No visible trace at ground level.
