The National Monuments Service's description

Listed in both the SMR (1989) and the RMP (1995) and classified as 'Enclosure'. In waterlogged pasture, immediately N of a triangular field (SL047-073001-). Inspection in 2000 revealed that this is a low, naturally-occurring elevation with sides that slope gently down to the E and SE. This area is now enclosed by field boundaries creating a roughly square field (c. 34.5m E-W; 33m N-S) with linear N and E sides and gently curved S and W sides. The interior slopes gently down to NW. The W half of the field is planted with conifers while much of the E half is occupied by a corrugated iron barn and a small concrete enclosure and cattle crush. It was concluded that there are no upstanding remains visible to suggest that this is an archaeological monument.
