The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating pasture. Roughly circular area (28m E-W; 30m N-S) enclosed by low broad earthen bank (H 0.2m; Wth 1.6m). Gap (Wth c. 6m) in bank to E. Field boundary shown skirting site SW->N on 1924 OS 6-inch map has been removed W->N; site now incorporated into pasture field. Interior slopes down towards centre and surface uneven, probably due to dumping. A limekiln, but no enclosure, is shown here on 1841 map. This site may be an infilled quarry.
