The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on N-facing slope. Monument, depicted as roughly circular embanked enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on 1924 OS 6-inch map, has been levelled. However, curving field boundary respects line of enclosure NNE->SE, and very slight scarped edge can be traced SSW->NNW. Interior, under pasture, slopes down gently to N. Field boundary, shown abutting enclosure at SW on 1901 OS 6-inch map, has been removed.
