The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on top of a rise in hilly poorly drained pasture scrubland and rushes. Hachured on the both first edition (1842) and later, Cassini edition (1920) of the OS 6-inch map where it is depicted as a raised, oval area (est. diams. c. 30m NW-SE; c. 26m NE-SW). The site of the monument has been criss-crossed with deep drainage ditches and no visible surface trace survives. Visible, surrounded by forestry, in aerial imagery (Map Genie Imagery, 2005-2012).
