The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture. A circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) visible on satellite imagery (Google Earth satellite image, imagery date 20 January 2020), identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère. On the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map the enclosure is not depicted, but the area is shown as being occupied by a small tree plantation (dims. c. 180m NE-SW; c. 90m NW-SE) within which is an adjacent enclosure (TS081-036----) c. 45m to the SW, now largely levelled. The Google Earth satellite imagery also shows another possible enclosure (TS081-088----) adjoining to the NE, the N and E sides of which also appear to have formed the NE edge of the tree plantation. There is another enclosure (TS081-035----) 325m to the NW.
