Field Visit (28 November 2009)
This enclosure has been obscured by modern development and is now largely destroyed.
Outwith the south-east side of the enclosure is heather moor, regenerating improved pasture is to the north-west. An earthen bank surrounds an area of improved pasture, and measures 100m by 80m and standing to 1m in height. The bank is in poor condition-part of the enclosure runs directly alongside River Ledmore and a section here is completely absent probably due to river erosion. The bank does not appear on the north-east side of the road possible due to a modern housing platform development and forestry. The feature is also truncated by a forestry track.
