The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, located on a NW–SE ridge. A small, circular embanked enclosure (diam. 15-20m) is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map. It is depicted on the 25-inch plan as a D-shaped hachured feature (c. 12-15m NE–SW; c. 8m NW–SE) bordered on the straight side to NW by a field boundary. It is not shown on the 1930 OS 6-inch edition. No visible surface trace. The nature of this monument is uncertain. It may have been a small ringfort, but it is possible that it was a type of barrow or mound.
