The National Monuments Service's description
On the N slope of a ridge in pasture. A report in 1965 (SMR file) noted that this monument was practically impossible to inspect as the area was densely overgrown with scrub, briar and thorn bushes. Traces of a slight bank were visible at NW; no trace of a fosse was evident. By 1975 (ibid.) the area had been cleared and the monument was levelled. Not visible at ground level.
