The National Monuments Service's description
In rough grazing, on the lower S-facing slopes of Kinknock Hill. Subcircular area (diam. c. 18m) defined by a low bank (Wth on top 1m; H c. 0.55m) of earth and stone. The interior has an uneven surface, with a slight rise in ground level evident in the W half, and a greater spread of stones visible at NE, both internally and externally of the bank. Relict cultivation ridges, on a roughly N-S axis, traverse the interior and the surrounding field. There is another enclosure (MA086-020----) c. 140 upslope to N.
