The National Monuments Service's description
Indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) with a farm roadway running NNW-SSE through the monument from N to SE. On the 1900 revision the enclosure is delineated as a field boundary with a wet, marshy interior. On satellite imagery (Digitalglobe, viewed 7 July 2020) the enclosure is visible heavily overgrown with trees and scrub.
