The National Monuments Service's description
On a moderately steep S-facing downslope in improved and extensively cleared pastureland. A circular enclosure, not marked on the 1842 ed. of the OS 6-inch map but hachured on the 1915 ed. Not visible at ground level. A potential scarp visible on OS orthophotography (2013–18) extending in an arc from E to SW may represent the southern limit of the monument.
