The National Monuments Service's description
In a relatively flat expanse of rough, bogy pasture. A subrectangular enclosure (20-25m N−S; c. 20m E−W) is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; a penannular enclosure (c. 20m N−S; c. 17m E−W), open to E and incorporated into a network of field boundaries at N and SE, is shown on the 1920 edition. The enclosure and all adjacent field boundaries have been removed; there is no visible trace at ground level.
