Description
A small quadrilateral enclosure located on the end of an undulating ridge in rolling limestone upland. Overall it measures 79m (NW-SE) by 59m, an enclosed area of 0.16ha, and is defined on three sides by a broad bank of loose stones and boulders while the NE side is defined by the irregular scarp of a steep natural slope. Incorporating outcrop on the NW the bank has a maximum external height there of 2.5m (1.8m above the interior). The original entrance gap was probably in the shortest, SE, side.

surveyed D.M.Browne & D.K.Leighton 14 July 1981
