The National Monuments Service's description
On the S-facing slope of a low ridge in pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded that, although levelled, the outline of the perimeter could still be traced enclosing a circular area (diam. c. 35m). Further levelling has since occurred and the monument is not visible at ground level.
