In undulating average pasture. This monument is shown on the 1837-8 and 1922 OS 6-inch maps as a small, circular enclosure (diam. 12-15m). It has been leveled. It is classed here as an enclosure, but its original function is uncertain: it could have been a house or a barrow. There is an possible rath (MA031-059----) 50m to SW.
