The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on gentle NE-facing slope. Roughly circular area (31.4m N-S; 26.2m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.65m) SSE->NNW, and by field boundary NNW->NE which probably overlies bank. From NE->SSE there is no trace of enclosing element but edge of enclosure is marked by gradual slope down from interior into marshy area. Field boundary runs along base of bank WNW->NNW. Interior under pasture and slopes down to E.
