What is recorded here

In area covered by scrub vegetation, atop low limestone hillock. Circular area (diam. 26m) enclosed by collapsed dry-stone bank (int. H 0.45m; ext. H 0.75m). Bank best preserved S->WSW, becomes scarp-like (H 0.9m) WSW->WNW. Dry-stone field wall abuts bank at WNW, running along top to NE where it runs away to E from enclosure. Vegetation overgrowth obscures enclosing bank E->S. Field walls run close to base of external bank face along E and S sides, forming corner of field at SE. Interior uneven with loose stone and wood strewn about, slopes down to SE. Interior divided by low stone bank (H 0.45m), just E-of-centre, on NE-SW axis; area to W of dividing bank is slightly higher than remainder of interior.
