The National Monuments Service's description

On the crest of a S-facing slope on the SE edge of a narrow valley in improved pasture and within a large multiperiod field system (CL009-030001-). Hachured on the Cassini edition (1920) of the OS 6-inch map. This small poorly preserved, slightly raised (H 0.2–0.5m) circular area (diams. 14m N–S; 13m E–W) is defined by a low scarp which is most visible from NE–SE-SW (H 0.5m; max. Wth 1–2m), and by a low grass-covered stone bank (H 0.2m; Wth 2–5m) from S–SW-W.
