The National Monuments Service's description
In marshy land on the flood plain of the River Goul which flows 220m to the SE, in rolling grassland. There are good views in all directions. A small enclosure (diam. c. 16m) is indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map, it is not depicted on the subsequent 1900 ed. which suggests it was levelled between 1839 and 1900. The monument is not visible at ground level.
