The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, located on a low rise, with gently rising ground to SW.
Shown on the 1916 OS 6-inch map as a semi-circular hachured arc curving W–NE, bordered to S and SE by straight field fences.
An ephemeral curving undulation (L c. 15.5m NE−SW) can be discerned in the field surface corresponding with the hachured arc shown on the OS map. The field fence to the S has been removed; the fence at the SE, which serves as a property division, is extant. It is possible that this is the remnant of an originally circular enclosure; however, it is not possible to trace the full circuit at ground level.
