The National Monuments Service's description
In 1997 the existence of a possible levelled enclosure or annexe which was attached to the NW side of a ringfort (OF021-001001-) was recorded as 'in the evening time, with a low sun, it appeared to be a very low level ploughed out circular enclosure, possibly with a single bank, and a central slightly raised area. It was roughly 20m in diameter' (SMR file 1997).
