The National Monuments Service's description
On the S end of a hillock in pasture. Indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 32m). It is not shown on the subsequent 1900 revision which suggests that is was levelled between 1839 and 1900. A satellite image (OS Ortho, viewed 9 December 2020) shows the enclosure as a faint cropmark and also visible is a small quarry (diam. c. 45m) in the N portion of the hillock, c. 10m N of the enclosure.
