In improved pasture, crowning the summit of a ridge, with panoramic views. Overlooks a stream valley to NE. Not shown on any edition of the OS 6-inch mapping. Listed in the SMR (1991) and the RMP (1997) as a possible enclosure on the basis of roughly circular feature, crossed by a roughly E−W field fence, which is visible in an aerial photograph (SMR file: GSI M 689 -8; Roll 217, pr. 34). When inspected in 1997, the E−W field fence was extant. To S of the fence, an ephemeral undulation outlined a semicircular area (15m E-W; c. 14m N-S to the fence). An outer undulation or contour (overall diam. c. 20-25m E-W) curved around this at a distance of 10m. These features appeared to represent the S half of the possible enclosure. There were no visible remains to N of the E−W fence. The field fence was subsequently removed.
