The National Monuments Service's description
Marked as a circular enclosure (ext. diam. c. 40m) only on the 1915 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a gently undulating landscape towards the bottom of a W-facing slope. It has been described as a circular area (diam. 32m) defined by an earth and stone bank (Gannon 1972), but this is no longer visible in pasture.
