The National Monuments Service's description
Situated at the E side of the top a low ridge in pasture. Not marked on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map and shown on the 1913 edition as a shallow hachured arc curving E-SW. This enclosure has been levelled and only its outline is now identifiable. Remains comprise a slightly raised, roughly circular area (diam. c. 25m), most clearly defined at E-SE by a slight scarp incorporated into a naturally-occurring slope.
