The National Monuments Service's description
Marked only on the 1928 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as an arc of hachures E-SW, and situated just off the W end of a slight E-W ridge. This is a D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 38m NNE-SSW; 34.5m WNW-ESE) defined by a low scarp (H 0.1-0.2m) N-E-SSW. It is bisected by a NNE-SSW field bank and hedge at W and is not visible W of this feature. A collapsed souterrain (RO035-026002-) extended S from this monument in 1984 (SMR file), but is no longer evident.
