The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on low-lying level ground. Monument, depicted on 1923 OS 6-inch map as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m), has been levelled. It is now evident as oval area (35m N-S; 30m E-W) of clover enclosed by parched band of grass (Wth 5.7m) NW->WNW along line of removed bank. Break in grass band (Wth 7m) at NW may indicate position of entrance.
