The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating pasture. Monument, depicted as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m) on 1841 OS 6-inch map, has been levelled. However, a faint trace of its outline is discernable as a circular area (29m N-S; 31.6m E-W) defined by scarped edge (H 0.2m; Wth 1m) with external fosse (Wth c. 3m) and external bank (Wth c. 4m; H c. 0.2m). Line of fosse is emphasised by darker grass growing in it.
