The National Monuments Service's description
On a hillock in grassland. Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure; on the OS 1:2500 plan (surveyed 1912-16) it is more subrectangular in plan (c. 49m NW-SE; c. 41m N-S) and field boundaries overlie the enclosing element from NW through E to SW. On inspection in September 1983 no visible surface trace survived but a slight curve in a field bank to the N may have mirrored its outline.
