The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on N-facing slope. Monument, depicted as embanked circular enclosure on 1841 OS 6-inch map, has been levelled. However, it is still apparent as roughly circular area (21m N-S; 25m E-W) defined by very gradual scarped edge (H 1.6m; Wth 14m), except SSW->WSW where scarp removed by small quarry (6m x 4m); lower end of scarp truncated SE->SW by field boundary. Slight bank evident atop scarp SSE->SSW (Wth c. 6.5m; H c. 0.35m). Interior is level and entire site under pasture.
