The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on SW-facing slope, with stream short distance to SW. Roughly oval area (26m N-S) defined by scarped edge (Wth 3.7m; H 0.55m) SW->NNW, and by band of differential grass growth NNW->E; no enclosing element apparent E->SW in area covered by tall grass. There is a gradual rise from periphery towards centre where a concrete pillar stands (OS trig. station). No visible surface trace of gravemarkers, nor trace of church (LI028-131001-), dedicated to St Rodan, which is said to have stood here (OSL vol. 1, 24).
