The National Monuments Service's description
On the outer edge of a shelf on a gentle S-facing slope of a NW-SE ridge. Subcircular grass and rush-covered area (dims 27.3m NW-SE; 23.5m NE-SW) defined by a rush-filled fosse (Wth 1.4-2.3m; D 0.1-0.2m). A NE-SW field drain has been cut through the monument towards the perimeter at E, and the silted fosse (Wth 6m; D 1m) can be seen in the section. There is no visible entrance.
