The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a level area with a break of slope at W−NW. A circular embanked enclosure (diam. 25-30m) is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; it is not shown on later map editions. There is no visible trace at ground level. A house now partly overlies the location.
