The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture. A triangular-shaped enclosure (dims. c. 42m NW-SE; c. 37m NE-SW at the NW, tapering to c. 10m at the SE) indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map and on the 1900 revision. A public road runs roughly N-S c. 20m E of the monument. It is evident from satellite imagery that the monument has been levelled, though it is still visible as a raised area. An enclosure (KK018-022----) is located c. 100m to the SE.
