Historic England's scheduling record (list entry 1010805) describes an enclosure on a south-facing slope about 200 metres east of an agglomerated enclosure south-east of Yealm Steps and north of the Ranny Brook. It is a bank of stone and earth 0.5 metres wide and 0.4 metres high around an oval area 18 metres by 16 metres. It lies near a cluster of enclosures and hut circles north of where the Ranny Brook meets the River Yealm. It lies in the parish of Cornwood.
