The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in hilly pasture on the N-facing lower slopes of the Ox Mountains. Not marked on any edition of the OS 6-inch map. Slightly raised circular area (diam. c.23.5m) defined from SE-SSE-S by a stoney rise (Wth. 5.8m; int. H 0.35m) which probably incorporates original wall footings. Elsewhere the perimeter is obscured by later field walls. Original entrance not recognisable. Within the interior is souterrain (SL019-147002-).
