The National Monuments Service's description

On a rocky height, in pasture. An oval enclosure (dims. c. 33m NE-SE; c. 22m NW-SE) visible on satellite imagery (Google Earth satellite imagery, 20 January 2020), identified and reported by Jean-Charles Caillère. It forms the NE angle of a larger roughly triangular-shaped enclosure (TS086-048----). The triangular-shaped enclosure is hachured on the 1907 revision of the OS 6-inch map but there is a gap in the NE angle where the oval enclosure is located. The map shows a 382ft (116m) trigonometrical station on the N bank of the triangular-shaped enclosure. Both enclosures appear to be constructed of stone walling, now grass covered. The triangular enclosure appears to run up to an oval enclosure.
