The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture. A possible rectangular enclosure (diam. c. 40m NE-SW; c. 30m NW-SE) 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) and the N and E sides of the enclosure appear to have formed the NE edge of the tree plantation. The S side of the enclosure is not clearly defined on the satellite image. This rectangular enclosure adjoins a circular enclosure (TS081-087----) to the SE, also identified on the satellite image. There is another enclosure (TS081-036----) c. 75m to the SW, now largely levelled and another (TS081-035----) 350m to the NW.
