The National Monuments Service's description
In reclaimed pasture, 60m N of the Camoge River, ring-barrow (LI031-139----) lies 240m to NW. Depicted on the 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map as a circular-shaped area (diam. c. 25m) enclosed by a bank. Not depicted on the 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map which suggests that monument was levelled between these map dates. Faint cropmark of levelled monument visible on OSi orthophoto taken between 2005-2012 and on Google Earth orthoimage taken 25/03/2017. Curving section of upstanding bank at N now levelled visible on Google Earth orthoimage dated 05/04/2006.
