The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in undulating pasture in a river valley, c. 70m NE of a small river. Identified from an aerial photography as a circular enclosure (Bruff Survey: map 15, no 14.01; 4/3731). The monument consists of a sub-oval area (32m NE-SW; 29.8m N-S) defined by a scarped edge (Wth 4.6m; H 0.9m). There is a dip in the scarp at E (Wth 4m) which may be an entrance feature. The interior slopes down gently to SE. Shallow quarrying appears to have taken place in the SW quadrant of theinterior. There is a ring barrow (LI015-059002-) in the SE quadrant of the interior.
