The National Monuments Service's description
Situated immediately W of a wood and stream, on a gentle rise in undulating pasture with good views to N, W and S. Monument, depicted on the 1840 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (daim. c. 25m), but not shown on the 1927 map, has been levelled. There is a natural rise at this location but no evident trace of an archaeological monument.
