The National Monuments Service's description
Marked as a circular hachured feature (diam. c. 25m) only on the 1914 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated at the crest of the S-facing slope of an E-W drumlin ridge. Described as an arc (C 19m) of an earthen bank with no visible fosse W-NE that had been truncated by a NE-SW field bank (Gannon 1972). It is not now visible at ground level in pasture.
