The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a low, gently undulating rise. An oval embanked enclosure (c. 30m N−S; c. 20-25m E−W) is shown on 1838 OS 6-inch map, but not on later map editions. It has been levelled; indistinct surface undulations are visible but the outline of the enclosure cannot be traced.
