The National Monuments Service's description
Marked only on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 25m) which is slightly truncated by a NNW-SSE field bank at NE, and situated on an undulating landscape. It is visible as a circular area with an overgrown perimeter on aerial photographs (GSIAP: M 597-8), but is not visible now at ground level in reclaimed pasture.
