The National Monuments Service's description
Although not recorded on the 1st ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map, it is shown on the latest ed. of the map (1939-40) as a raised oval area (c. 50m NE-SW; c. 40m NW-SE) with a smaller raised circular area (diam. c. 20m) on top, at the NE end. Described in 1955 as a damaged mound with trees planted around it, no visible surface trace survived in 1972 (SMR file).
