A circular enclosure, situated in a poorly-drained position, measuring 23.5m in diameter within a turf and reed-covered bank spread to 2.5m and 0.4m high. The interior is heather-covered; no entrance is evident. The date and purpose are uncertain, but it appears to be of some antiquity, probably an animal fold associated with the minor deserted township to the NW (ND05NW(M) 7).

Visited by OS (J B) 23 July 1981.
