The National Monuments Service's description
Situated immediately S of a field boundary on a steep N-facing slope in pasture. Monument is depicted on the 1924 OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular area (c. 30m E-W; c. 25m N-S) enclosed by a bank and fosse. It is now evident as a sub-oval area (30.6m E-W), defined by a bank (int. H 0.9m; Wth 1.95m; ext. H 0.3m) constructed of earth and stones. The bank has been reduced to a scarped edge from E to W. The N half of the interior is inaccessible, being masked by dense scrub vegetation as well as by recent dumping of rubble both in the interior and around the bank to N and W. There is a fosse evident at the W side this has been obscured by rubble dumping.
