The National Monuments Service's description
Indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map and on the 1900 revision as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 33m). It is evident from satellite imagery (DigitalGlobe imagery; viewed 6 July 2020) that the monument has been levelled, though an outer fosse is visible in the N-NE sector. A deep drain running NW-SE has been cut across the W portion from the S of the monument to the NW.
