A prehistoric enclosure on the lower western slopes of the River Erme. The low turf-covered stony bank of the perimeter is spread up to 3 metres but stands to less than 0.5 metres high. The enclosure is incomplete on the southern side though the area can be estimated at 0.4 hectares. A hut circle recorded by Butler could not be found though the vegetation covering of Molina grass is now very dense.
