The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle SW-facing slope in pasture. Not marked on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded that the outline of a levelled circular enclosure (diam. c. 28m) could be traced. The SE half of the monument has since been destroyed due to the construction of a NE-SW laneway and field boundary. No visible surface trace of the NW half survives; it has been planted with coniferous trees.
