Shown on the 1897 ed. OSi 25-inch map as an oval-shaped area (dims. c. 65m N-S, 55m E-W) enclosed by a bank from W-N-E reuced to a scarp elsewhere which serves as a field boundary. Surveyed by the ASI in 1999 and described as no surface remains visible of levelled monument known locally as a ‘lis’.
