The National Monuments Service's description
Marked as a small circular enclosure on the 1837 (diam. c. 15m) and 1914 (diam. c. 22m) eds of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on the NW-facing slope of a broad drumlin. A scarp (H 0.4-1.1m) survives SW-N (C 23.5m) but the perimeter cannot be traced elsewhere.
