The National Monuments Service's description

In pasture, atop gradual rise. Monument, depicted on both 1841 and 1923 OS 6-inch maps as circular enclosure (diam. c. 50m) planted with trees, has been levelled. According to landowner, enclosure and abutting field boundaries at NW and E were levelled in 1977. Landowner described site as consisting of a circular area enclosed by a fosse (Wth c. 5m) with an external earthen bank (max. H c. 1.6m) and with an entrance at W. According to landowner, interior deep ploughed several times and large holes dug to bury fallen trees. May have been a tree-ring rather than an ancient enclosure.
