The National Monuments Service's description
On S-facing brow of E-W ridge. Monument, depicted as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) on 1923 OS 6-inch map, has been almost completely destroyed by extensive drain excavation for forestry plantation- area now planted with young coniferous trees. Short arc of bank (L 5.2m; H c. 0.6m), densely overgrown with gorse and brambles, may be part of NW arc of enclosing element.
