The National Monuments Service's description

This monument is represented on the 1st ed. OS 6-inch map (1837). Only the N half of the enclosure remained at this time, the remainder undoubtedly having been washed away by the sea. It is not shown on the OS 1:2500 plan (surveyed 1909-12). On inspection in 1991 there was no visible surface trace and a house and garden had been built on the site.
