The National Monuments Service's description
Situated immediately NE of a field boundary to the SE of a farmyard on a S-facing slope in poorly drained, gently undulating pasture. The monument is partially obscured by scrub. Evident as a sub-circular area (19m NE-SW; 16.6m NW-SE) defined by a scarped edge (Wth 2.3m; H 0.3m). There is a gap in the scarp to ESE (Wth 1m).
