The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture on slight ESE facing slope. No surface remains visible of semi-circular shaped earthwork depicted on Cassini ed. OSi 6-inch map. A lime-kiln is depicted at this location on 1840 ed. OSi 6-inch map. The semi-circular shaped earthwork may be the grass-covered remains of the collapsed lime-kiln.
