The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture. Indicated on the 1st (1839) ed. OS 6-inch map as an oval enclosure (dims. c. 53m NW-SE; c. 45m NE-SW) with a field boundary running roughly NE-SW c. 5m N of the enclosure. The enclosure is similarly shown on the 1900 revision and 25-inch OS map. Satellite imagery (Google Earth imagery date 25 April 2021) shows trees and scrub around the perimeter and the interior is relatively free of vegetation.
