The National Monuments Service's description
Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as an irregular enclosure (c. 23m NW-SE; c. 22m NE-SW) that appears to have been cut into from E to S by a quarry. When inspected in September 1982 it was in farmland but aerial imagery (Google 2019) indicates that the area was subsequently developed and is now a golf course. On inspection the area was obscured by field-clearance rubble and collapsed field boundaries and no clear visible surface trace of the monument survived.
