The National Monuments Service's description
Indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure within a small field, the field boundary runs in an irregular fashion around the outside of the SW-N-E sectors and while respecting the monument may also have incorporated an outer enclosing element. On the 1900 OS 6-inch map revision the monument is indicated as a penannular waterlogged fosse, absent in the NE sector. On satellite imagery (Digitalglobe, viewed 7 July 2020) the interior appears under grass while the perimeter is overgrown with trees.
