The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on gentle SSE-facing slope, below brow of hill. Monument, depicted as embanked circular enclosure on 1841 OS 6-inch map, has been levelled. However, it is still evident as circular area (22m E-W) defined by very gradual scarped edge NE->W (H 1m; Wth 11.5m), which is truncated by passageway leading to newly constructed house W->NE. A pump house stands on top edge of scarp at SSW. Interior, under pasture, has shallow drain (D 0.1m; Wth 0.6m) crossing it on E-W axis. There is a dump of quarry stones near centre.
