The National Monuments Service's description
Indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map and the 1900 revision as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 43m) with a field boundary running N-S along the W side and following the SW edge before turning southward. The monument has since been levelled. The fosse is visible as a cropmark on some satellite imagery (Google Earth, 10 June 2008; OS Orthos).
