The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle W-facing slope in improved pasture: field boundaries shown abutting the monument NW-N-E on the current ed. (1910) of the OS 6-inch map have been levelled, whins removed from the monument are piled to the SW and the monument is freshly grass-seeded. A slightly raised (H 0.5m) subcircular area (diam. 20.6m E-W; 17.5m N-S) is defined by a wide shallow fosse (Wth 3.2m at E-5.7m at N; D 0.2m). there is no obvious trace of an outer bank, but the local land improvement works may have resulted in its levelling?
