The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight W-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Depicted on the 1912 OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) incorporated into field boundaries at W and NE. In 1946 the only extant remains comprised 'a short length of very overgrown stone wall about 3 ft. [0.9m] high'. There have been no remains of this monument visible since at least 1954 (SMR file). A souterrain (SL003-019002-), from which fragment of a decorated rotary quern (SL003-019003-) was identified, was discovered at or in proximity to this monument in 1954 (SMR file).
