The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture. A roughly circular bivallate enclosure (int. diam. c. 44m; overall diam. c. 60m) indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map and on the 1900 revision. A NW-SE field boundary runs along the outer bank from N-E-SE. It is evident from satellite imagery that the monument, along with the field boundary, has been levelled.
