The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on the S-facing side of a NW-SE ridge within the garden of a modern house. Depicted as a circular enclosure on the 1837 OS 6-inch map. On the 1913 edition a hachured arc representing the W half of the enclosure diam. c. 25m) is shown. There are no remains now identifiable at ground level. A property boundary appears to respect the original W-NW curve of the enclosure.
