The National Monuments Service's description
On a W-facing slope in hilly pastureland. Marked as an oval enclosure (c. 35m ENE-WSW; c. 25m NE-SW) on the 1920 edition of the OS 6-inch map. On inspection in May 1983, apart from slight irregularities in the ground surface, no visible surface trace survives. However, its outline is
visible on the OSi digitalglobe aerial photograph. Field boundaries clipped the monuement along the N and E sectors.
