The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight S-facing slope in gently undulating pasture. Not marked on the 1837 edition on the OS 6-inch map but depicted as a roughly circular hachured area (diam. c.20m) on the 1912 edition. According to local information this monument was levelled in the 1940s (SMR (1989) file) and there are no remains of it now visible at ground level.
