What is recorded here
Situated on the S-facing slope of a low rise in pasture. Slightly raised circular area (diam. 6m) defined by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth. 0.7m - 1m; H 0.2m - 0.5m) with internal and external stone kerbs. At NW is a break in the bank at NW (Wth. 0.5m). However this may be the result of modern disturbance rather than an original entrance feature.
