The National Monuments Service's description
In reclaimed pasture, located on a slight N–facing slope of a rise.
This enclosure is not shown on any edition of the OS 6-inch maps, but is recorded in an aerial photograph (OS 2 4343 –4; Roll 216, pr. 20; SMR file).
At ground level the remains are evident as a very slightly sunken subcircular area (c. 25m N–S; c. 22m E–W) defined by a slightly raised rim which is most clearly defined at NW. There is a small roughly circular, domed rise (diam. c. 10m) c. 15m to NW which appears to be a natural feature.
