The National Monuments Service's description
At the base of a steep NW-facing slope of the valley of the Sruhnasilloge river, a tributary of the River Nore, in pasture. There are good views to the NW along the Nore river valley. Ground levels out in the adjoining field to the N. This enclosure is indicated on the 1st (1839-40) ed. OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular area (diam. c. 30m) defined by hachures. The monument is not depicted on the 2nd (1903) edition which suggests it was levelled between 1839 and 1903. The enclosure is not visible at ground level.
