Described in 1977 as an enclosure that is situated on top of an oval shaped natural hillock with ringfort (WM032-100----) 90m to the SSE. The enclosure consists of an oval-shaped area defined by a drystone wall running around the base of the hillock which is best preserved at E. There are traces of an old field fence running E-W across the hillock on its S side. This enclosure is depicted on the first edition OS 6-inch map as a D-shaped enclosure with the straight side forming the W side of the enclosure. On this map a small field is located immediately to the W with the straight side of the enclosure forming the E boundary of the adjoining field. A smaller field is located immediately to the S of the enclosure. This enclosure is not depicted on the revised editions of the OS 6-inch maps which depicts the area as an irregular-shaped tree plantation (dims. c. 46m N-S; 36m E-W). There are still some pine trees growing on top of the hillock which belong to this plantation. The planting of the trees in the late 19th / early 20th century resulted in the degradation of the enclosing feature of this monument.
