The National Monuments Service's description
In level pasture. Monument, depicted as embanked circular enclosure on 1923 OS 6-inch map, has been levelled. However, it is still evident as roughly circular area (26m N-S; 29m E-W) enclosed by fosse (D 0.15m: Wth 3.6m). Edge of enclosed area is slightly higher than centre of interior and this may be remains of levelled bank. Interior surface is uneven and under pasture.
