The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a break in a NNW-facing slope. The monument, which is depicted as a kidney-shaped mound on the 1923 OS 6-inch map, has been levelled. However, it is now evident as a spread of burnt material covering a roughly oval-shaped area (25m E-W; 14m N-S).
