The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, located on top of a low ridge, at its SE end close to an E-facing slope. Not shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; shown on the 1930 OS 6-inch as a roughly circular hachured enclosure (diam. c. 25m). There are scant remains visible at ground level: A subcircular undulation (diam. c. 25m) can be discerned, with traces of a slight curving scarp at E, merging with the natural fall of ground.
