The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle S facing pasture slope. Not recorded on the 1st ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map, but shown on the latest ed. (1939) as a tree-clad, semi-circular area (est. dims. c. 55m N-S) defined by a scarp. In the 1950's, it was known locally as 'the moat', but by 1972 no visible surface trace survived (SMR file).
