The National Monuments Service's description
In tillage, on a steep NW-facing slope. Depicted on the 2nd ed. (1897-8) OS 6-inch map as a circular area (diam. c. 35m) enclosed by a bank. The enclosure was partially levelled in the early 1960s with the remaining portion levelled in the early 1980s. A low rise, tracing the line of the bank, can be traced along the SW arc. According to the landowner steps originally led down to two subterranean chambers in the NW quadrant of the interior suggesting the presence of a souterrain (KE022-004001-) here.
