The National Monuments Service's description
In wet pasture, on a gentle ENE-facing slope. Shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a square enclosure planted with trees, and as a hachured subcircular enclosure on the 1922 edition. Raised subcircular area (diam. 38.5m) enclosed by a substantial bank. The bank incorporates large stones, including three uprights and a partially buried stone at E. The interior is divided into two roughly equal portions by a now disused E–W field boundary. A rectangular structure in the N half of the interior may be the remains of a house (MA014-013001-).
