The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, atop low rise in gently undulating terrain, immediately SE of farmyard. Monument, depicted as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) on 1841 OS 6-inch map, has been modified to form small paddock attached to farmyard. Now consists of roughly circular area (38m N-S; 39m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 0.85m) with recent drainage ditch running immediately outside it N->SW, and defined by concrete-block wall SW->N. Gate in block wall gives access to interior; just inside wall to NW is pump house and there is tap on post in centre of enclosure. A hedge has been planted along inside base of enclosing bank NE->SE.
