The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a gentle SE-facing slope on the E side of Red Hill. Not marked on any edition of the OS 6-inch map. A possible circular enclosure is visible from an aerial photograph. The only surface remains are a row of boulders revetting a low scarp (H 0.5m) extending in a slightly curving line from W-N-NE. However this feature appears more likely to be the last remnant of a field division then an antiquity.
