The National Monuments Service's description

Visible as an enclosure on vertical aerial photograph (CUCAP: K17 W 10). This is an oval area (int. dims 27m NW-SE, 20.5m NE-SW) defined by a drystone-built wall and with lazy-beds in the interior. The enclosure is part of the 18-19th century field pattern of the area. It was removed before 2000 (OSAP).
