The National Monuments Service's description
In a level reclaimed field with land to E rising steeply, in pasture. Indicated as a roughly circular enclosure (overall dims. c. 51m NE-SW; c. 48m NW-SE) on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map. It appears to have been levelled between 1839 and 1900 as it is not depicted on the 1900 revision of the OS 6-inch map. Now visible as a level platform (max. dims. 39m N-S; 34m E-W, H 0.4m).
