Full Description

Set in a NW-facing slope in a field, are the remains of an enclosure. Only the N half is evident, as a turf-covered wall spread at most pronounced 2.5m broad by 0.1m high internally, 0.6m high externally. The course of the wall elsewhere has either been ploughed-out or is obscured by stone-dumping. A depression in the N arc suggests an entrance position. This may be a hut circle, but there are insufficient remains to enable classification.
Surveyed at 1:2500. Visited by OS (J M) 1 October 1981.
