The National Monuments Service's description
On the summit of a stepped barrow is a circular masonry enclosure c. 10m in diameter on top of which is a small turret. This contains a doorway and three windows. Beranger's drawing of 1767 shows this as a two storied turret. This is an Eighteenth-century folly.
