What is recorded here
No visible gate, no ditch, just a shallow ring of earth and stone on a south-east slope where cattle still move through the dark. The fairies may have taken the entrance, but people built the ring, and a later kiln bit into its side like a claim made on someone else's wall.
On a SSE-facing slope in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 31.6m) defined by a wide low bank of earth and stone (Wth 6.2m; H 0.2m) from WSW-W-NNW and elsewhere by a scarp. There is no trace of a fosse and the original entrance is not recognisable. Built into the scarp at SW is a small limekiln (LF014-080002-).
