Site visited on 9th April 1995. Simple enclosure within an historic field system. The west side of the enclosure survives as a buried feature and therefore its size and shape could not be ascertained from field investigation alone. The surviving rubble bank wall measures 1.5 metre wide by 0.15 metres high. The National Trust Upper Plym Inventory records this site as two clearance cairns but Butler and Price both map it as an enclosure.
