What is recorded here
In rough pasture, located on a rise, overlooked by a higher hill at ESE. There is a ruined vernacular cottage immediately to N, and the surrounding farmland is largely under forestry.
Shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a circular embanked enclosure (diam. 15-20m); not shown on later map editions.
A slightly raised area (max. dim. c. 24m) defined at W–N by a curving, apparently natural slope (H c. 3m at N) and bordered to E and S by field fences may indicated the location of the enclosure, but no enclosing bank/scarp is evident. The centre of this area is raised slightly higher than the rest, with an uneven ground surface strewn with a number of boulders.
