The National Monuments Service's description
Marked only on the 1915 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (ext. diam. c. 45m), and situated on an undulating landscape. This is a D-shaped overgrown area (dims 30.5m NW-SE; c. 15m NE-SW) defined by the base of a stone wall or bank with facing-stones (Wth 1.6m) which survives NW-E-SE. There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance. The monument is bisected by a NW-SE field bank and does not survive above ground SW of this feature.
