The National Monuments Service's description
On level, low-lying pasture, immediately to the NW of a disused NNE-SSW running railway line. Not indicated on the 1837 or 1883 eds. of the OS 6-inch map. On the 1914 ed. it is depicted as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 46m) abutted by the railway line at SE. A report in 1975 (SMR file)indicates that all that survived was a short segment of an embankment at W. This has since been levelled and the monument is not visible at ground level.
