The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight rise in gently undulating pasture. The site is located on the N side of a farmyard area and is itself bounded on the N side by a road and on the W side by a lane. Not marked on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map but depicted on the 1912 edition of the 6'' OS 6-inch map as a semi-circular area (dims. c.18m E-W; c.10m N-S) immediately to the S of a public roadway. The site has been largely quarried away and the area heavily disturbed. There are no definite archaeological features now visible at ground level.
