The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on E-facing slope below brow of hill. Monument, depicted as embanked sub-circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on 1923 OS 6-inch map, has been levelled. A circular band of darker grass (diam. c. 31m) probably shows line of infilled fosse. A large uneven mound of earth c. 20m N of site probably derived from enclosure and surrounding field boundaries which have also been levelled.
