The National Monuments Service's description
In wet, low-lying pasture immediately S of a NW-flowing stream. Not indicated on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded a largely levelled, raised circular area (diam. c. 20m), which was delimited by a fosse. The original entrance was not recognisable. Further levelling has occurred and the monument is no longer visible at ground level.
