The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle NNE-facing slope in pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. The monument and a number of field boundaries in its vicinity were levelled in the 1940s (local information). However, a report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded that the outline of a bank with an external fosse could still be traced enclosing a circular area (diam. c. 30m). Not visible at ground level.
