The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on slight N-facing slope. Monument depicted as embanked circular enclosure (diam. C. 40m) on 1840 OS 6-inch map is no longer evident. This area is now very uneven as the result of a small quarry which once operated here- it is depicted on the 1923 OS 6-inch map- but is now grassed over.
