An enclosure, c.190m N-S, placed on what is now a constricted promontory between Cwm Marcroes on the E and eroding sea cliffs on the W. There are four N-facing banks and ditches, utilizing a small E-W defile that isolates the promontory, whilst on the E are traces of a single bank.
A pillow mound (nprn 24487) lies within the enclosure, which is at most c.36m across.
