The National Monuments Service's description
In level pasture. Shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a circular ringfort-sized enclosure, and on the 1929 edition as an arc of hachures, curving from SW to ENE. A circular cropmark (diam c. 25-30m) is evident in aerial view. Lavelle (1994, 63, no. 464) recorded it as ‘Levelled; no visible trace.’ Possibly a ringfort.
