The National Monuments Service's description
In level, poor, rushy pasture c. 150m SE of a medieval church (KD008-009001-) and graveyard (KD008-009002-). A D-shaped area (diam. 26m NE-SW), with a straight NE side (L 65m) appears to be the W-half of an originally circular or oval enclosure. It is defined by a low grass covered, earthen bank (Wth 5.1m; H 0.4m) from S to NW, but by a modern field bank along it's straight NE side. There is no obvious visible surface trace of the E-half of the monument.
