The National Monuments Service's description
In level pasture. Monument, depicted as embanked circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) on 1923 OS 6-inch map, has been levelled and incorporated into pasture field. However, this is now discernible as roughly circular area defined by scarped edge (H 0.15m; Wth 1.6m) with external fosse (D 0.15m; Wth 6m). A NE-SW running field boundary skirts outer edge of fosse at SE. Interior level and under pasture.
