The National Monuments Service's description
Listed in the SMR (1989) and classified 'Enclosure'. Not included in the RMP (1995). Depicted on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a small rectangular, tree-covered, enclosure. In pasture, in low-lying ground near base of slope. An oval area (25.5m x 13.5m) enclosed by a slight bank (Wth 0.7m; int. H 0.6m) with an external fosse (Wth 1.5m; D 0.4m). There is a collapsed stone wall outside the fosse. Mature trees grow on the tree-ring. This is likely to be post-1700 AD in date.
