The National Monuments Service's description
Circular area (diam. 55m) surrounded by a low bank planted with trees, and a shallow external fosse filled with field boulders. Nine low concentric earthen banks cover the interior. Monument has the general appearance of having been landscaped. Monument lies slightly downslope, rather than enclosing the summit of the hill.
