The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on E-facing slope. Roughly circular area (23.3m E-W; 21.1m N-S) divided into two equal sections by linear field boundary crossing on NW-SE axis. It is defined by a scarped edge, gradual on NW side (H 0.4m; Wth 1m) but more pronounced on SW side (H 1.2m; Wth 4m). Interior slopes down gently to E, following gradient of surrounding terrain, and is under pasture.
