The National Monuments Service's description
On a SE-facing slope in pasture. Depicted as a small, circular tree-ring on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A report in 1990 (SMR file) interpreted the then extant remains as those of a ring-barrow, which was later reused as a tree-ring. It has since been levelled and is not visible at ground level.
