On an E-facing slope in grassland, formerly part of Eyrecourt Demesne. Depicted on the OS 1:2500 plan (surveyed 1912-16) as roughly subcircular enclosure (c. 77m NW-SE) defined by a bank from E through S to NW. A roughly WNW-ESE running field boundary clipped it at NW and field boundaries ran outside it from E to SSE and from SSE to W. Another field boundary cut through the interior at W and NE. A church (GA108-076001-) and graveyard (GA108-076002-) occupied the area to the SE of the latter boundary. On inspection only a short stretch of the bank survived from W to NNE; the N sector was overlain by the WNW-ESE running field boundary. The enclosing element was grass covered and mainly composed of stone (base Wth 3.6m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.8m). Three gaps (Wth 2-3m) were visible in it. Possibly an ecclesiastical enclosure.
