The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, located on a low N−S spine of elevated ground. This enclosure is not indicated on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps. It consists of a low, D-shaped platform (c. 36m NNE-SSW; c. 43m WNW−ESE) defined on the curving side by a broadly sloping, levelled scarp. It is bordered on straight side to N by a property fence/hedgerow. There is no surface evidence that the enclosure extends to N of the fence.
