What is recorded here
On a hummock in level pastureland. While marked on the OS 6-inch maps as a small circular enclosure (diam. c. 11m), a rectangular enclosure (12m NE-SW; 11.2m NW-SE), in fair condition, is evident. It is defined by a collapsed bank of earth and stone (Wth 0.8m; base Wth 7.8m; int. H 0.85-1.1m; ext. H 0.55-1.4m) which is planted with a number of trees. Traces of internal and external stone-facing survive. A gap (Wth 2.5m) at SE may be original.
