The National Monuments Service's description
Situated towards the bottom of a gentle S-facing slope. An early ecclesiastical site which may have had an oval ecclesiastical enclosure (WA008-030002-) originally, but this is now truncated at S by an E-W field bank. A well which is now blocked is located at the W side of the NNW-SSE lane just W of the enclosure, but is not regarded locally as holy.
