The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture with extensive rock outcropping in land to the W and N. Not depicted on the 1840 OS 6-inch map. Shown as a small sub-circular shaped field (approx. diam. 20m) and not as an antiquity on the 1897 OS 25-inch map. The Cassini OSi 6-inch map depicts the outline of a sub-circular shaped area (22m N-S; 18m E-W) indicated with a solid line in the same fashion as the surrounding field boundaries. OSi orthophotos taken 2005 shows the outline of the feature surrounded by scrub. No surface remains visible on Digital Globe orthoimages taken 2011-13 or on Google Earth Orthoimage taken 08/04/2015.
