The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight SW-facing slope in gently undulating poor upland pasture. Depicted on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c.20m) but not shown on the 1913 edition. The monument has been levelled and there are no surviving remains now visible at ground level. The area is strewn with rubble rocks. A small quarry hole (diam. c.10m) now occupies portion of the site.
