The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on gentle S-facing slope. Monument, depicted on 1923 OS 6-inch map as ovoid enclosure (c. 30m E-W; c. 40m N-S), has been levelled except for section of enclosing earth-and-stone bank (int. H 0.35m) W->NE. This forms part of field boundary system; a dry-stone field wall runs along external face of bank and continues as linear boundary to SW and E.
