What is recorded here
On a gentle S-facing slope in undulating grassland. Marked on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (D c. 45m) defined by two concentric circles of hachures. What survives is a circular field (D 45m) delimited by a modern-looking drystone wall with an entrance gap at NNE. A number of mounds and hollows are visible externally: according to local tradition, these mark the site of old thatched houses.
