The National Monuments Service's description
At the E end of a rectangular field, bordered by a house and farmyard.
A circular embanked enclosure (diam. c. 25m) is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; it is not shown on the 1930 edition. There is no visible trace at ground level. The field fences at N, E and S sides of the field may overlie the enclosure. According to local tradition, there was a 'fort' with a souterrain (MA111-036001-) here.
