The National Monuments Service's description
Toward the bottom of a S-facing slope in pasture. Hachured on the OS 25-inch plan (1897) where it is recorded as a raised D-shaped area (est. diam. c. 33m NW-SE) with a straight side along the N (est. L c. 29m) along the base of which, outside to N, a later field boundary wall runs. Recorded similarly on the later, Cassini edition (1920) of the OS 6-inch map. Not visible at ground level when inspected in 1999, but traces of a scarp can be seen in satellite imagery (MapGenie Digital Globe 2011-13; MapGenie 2013-18) from SE-S-SW.
