The National Monuments Service's description

Indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 36m), immediately W of a small farmyard, with a field boundary running NW-SW near the SW edge. On the 1900 revision of the OS 6-inch map only a portion of the NE perimeter of the enclosure is indicated, suggesting the monument had been largely levelled. A bungalow was erected within the interior of the monument in c. 1980. The NE bank of the enclosure is upstanding.
