The National Monuments Service's description
Situated immediately W of a field boundary, on an E-facing slope in gently undulating pasture, with good views in all directions. The monument is obscured by dense scrub vegetation and is heavily poached by cattle. Indicated on the 1923 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) truncated at E by a field boundary. It is now evident as a circular area enclosed by an earthen bank (ext. H 0.5m; Wth 1.3m; int. H 0.3m).
