The National Monuments Service's description
On the E side of a small ridge, which is on the E edge of the floor of the Nore river valley, in rolling grassland. There are good views in all directions. Indicated as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m) on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map but had been levelled by 1946-7 as it does not appear on the revised 6-inch ed. of that date. The enclosure is not visible at ground level.
