The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on gentle N-facing slope with large marsh down-slope to N. Monument, depicted as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) on 1923 OS 6-inch map, has been levelled. Now evident as band of nettles (Wth 5.6m) SSW->NW. Mound of earth and stones (H 0.9m; Wth 4.8m), probably derived from enclosure, extends along W side of adjacent field boundary for c. 90m.
