The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a break in a N-facing hill slope. The monument, which is depicted on the 1923 OS 6-inch map as an oval mound (c. 10m N-S; c. 15 E-W), has been levelled. There is now no evident trace of the mound. A field boundary which ran immediately to its S has been removed.
