The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in level pasture. Not marked on the 1837 edition of the OS 6-inch map. Slightly raised circular area (diam. c. 34m) enclosed at SE-N by a much degraded, low bank (Wth 3.5-4m). The E half of the site has been levelled and there are no upstanding remains surviving. A modern field boundary abutts the bank at SW and W.
