What is recorded here
Situated on slight S-facing slope, on the side of a small hillock, in gently undulating pasture. Depicted on the 1912 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a circular hachured area (diam. 8m) divided into equal portions by a NW-SE field boundary. The portion to the ENE of this has been levelled. Upstanding remains comprise a semi-circular area (dims. 8m NW-SE; 4m) enclosed by a slight bank of earth and stone (Wth 2.9m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.2m). The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior of the site is slightly lower than external ground level.
