The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture; it appears to have encompassed a low rise. A circular embanked enclosure (diam. c. 30m) is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map. It is not shown on the 1916 edition where the curving line of a field fence appears to preserve the S arc of the enclosure. There is no visible trace at ground level.
