The National Monuments Service's description
In improved pasture, on an E-facing slope, to immediate SE of ringfort (TS060-083001-). Only possible to see the northern arc of this monument as an 8m band of grass has been cut along margin of field for silage. The rest of the field is still in hay and nothing can be seen. Circular area depicted on aerial photograph (1273/4) defined by scarp (Wth 4.5m; H 0.5m) only seen at NW. It appears defined by a low levelled bank NNW-NNE, but this is a shared piece of ground between fosse of ringfort (TS060-083001-) and scarp of this enclosure (TS060-083002-). Completely levelled out at NE, so not possible to define sides of monument.
