The National Monuments Service's description
In improved pasture, located on elevated ground, with a gentle slope down to NE–E.
Shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map as a small embanked enclosure (diam. c. 10-15m); not shown on later map editions. There are scant remains: a circular area (13.3m N–S; 11.3m E–W) defined by a slight bank (Wth 2.5m; int. H 0.3-0.4m; ext. H 0.2m). Stones protrude from the top of the bank on the NW arc, and there is a tree stump in the bank at N. The interior appears slightly sunken, but a slight central rise is discernible off centre to N. Possibly the remains of a barrow.
