Situated on a gentle rise overlooking undulating pasture to N and S. The monument is heavily masked by dense scrub vegetation. Indicated on the 1924 OS 6-inch map as an oval area (c. 35m E-W; c. 30m N-S) enclosed by a bank. Parts of a scarped edge is evident amidst the overgrowth (Wth. 1.8m; H 0.4m) in the N and W arcs of the enclosure. An area immediately W of the monument has been quarried in the past.
