The National Monuments Service's description
In level, lowlying pasture, located on a broad low rise, with ground falling away in a very gentle slope to E.
A circular enclosure (diam. c. 10-15m), outlined by a single line, is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; it is not shown on later map editions. The remains consist of a low subcircular or squarish earthen mound with a level top (2.4m N–S; 2.4m E–W) defined by a shallow sloping scarp (H 0.5m; Wth slope 1m). The scarp is most clearly defined on the N side, but is barely discernible at S where it merges seamlessly with surrounding ground level. A few stones protrude from the top and sides. A possible ringbarrow (MA111-037001-) and a possible mound barrow (MA111-037002-) are located c. 180 m to W.
