The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a level terrace on an E-facing slope. Not marked on any edition of the OS 6-inch map. Rectangular enclosure identified from aerial photograph (ACP V203/148-9, Roll 125, Prs. 19-20). It was levelled in the 1960's. However its outline, defined at N, E and S by a scarp (H 0.6m) and at W by a low rise, may still be traced.
