The National Monuments Service's description
A circular enclosure (diam. c. 20-25m) is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; it is not shown on later map editions. There is no visible trace at ground level. It appears to have been located on a rise with a fall of ground to SW towards a stream/drain. There is a castle (MA119-032----) on the opposite, S side of the drain.
