The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on flat ground on a garden boundary, c. 30m S of two houses. Indicated on the 1924 OS 6-inch map as a partial sub-rectangular platform (diam. c. 30m N-S by 40m E-W), bisected by a field boundary running N-S. The majority of the enclosure lies E of the boundary and is indicated by hachures as a platform. The remainder, to the W of the boundary, is indicated by a line. The monument has been levelled, however traces of the W arc (12m E-W) of an enclosing bank (int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.3m; Wth. 0.5m) is evident.
