The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, situated on the narrow E side of a N-S ridge. Not marked on any edition of the OS 6-inch map. Located 20m S of a possible barrow (SL019-154----). Squarish enclosure (27.6m E-W: 27.5m E-W) defined on N and W sides by linear field walls and at E and S by a low broadly curving scarp (H 0.8m) roughly faced at irregular intervals by stones. Immediately outside the scarp is a terrace (Wth 3-5m) with a scarped edge (H 0.5-1.2m) which was incorporated into a field wall, part of which still survives and is marked on the 1913 edition of the OS 6-inch map. Within the interior is a slight U-shaped rise (diam. 8m).
