The National Monuments Service's description
In gently undulating scrubland. Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as circular enclosure (diam. c. 33m); on the 1921 edition a line of hachures curving from SSW through W to N is shown. No visible surface trace survives but the curving field boundary now here may mirror its outline.
