The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, at the junction of two field boundaries, located on a slight rise with ground rising gently and gradually to S.
This monument is shown on the 1838 and 1929 OS 6-inch maps as a sub-circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m), incorporated into an E-W field boundary on its N side, and with a N-S field boundary immediately adjacent on the E side. It has been levelled. The E-W field boundary is extant and may incorporate remnants of the original N arc of the enclosing bank, but otherwise there is no visible trace of the enclosure at ground level. According to local information, it was enclosed by an earthen bank.
