What is recorded here

Marked only on the 1915 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure, and situated on a rise in a gently undulating landscape. This is a subcircular grass-covered platform (dims 34.4m NNE-SSW; 27.7m WNW-ESE) defined by an earth and stone scrub-covered bank (Wth 2.4-3m; H 0.3-0.6m) which is best preserved S-NW but reduced to a scarp elsewhere. There is slight evidence of an ancient stone wall on top of this scarp, but a field wall obscures the perimeter NW-E-S. There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance.
