Full Description
The remains of an arc of walling, c20m in length, are seen on the west edge of the flat summit of a prominent knoll. The surrounding area has been grossly disturbed by forest ploughing and planting. The south part of the feature is better preserved. It is approximately 1.5m thick and constructed of large boulders up to 1m in size and 0.7m high firmly set into the bank. There may be an entrance in the centre but it is difficult to make out its extent. <1>
