The National Monuments Service's description
In improved level pasture, defined by the upper edge of an old water course to the N. Identified on an aerial photograph (OS 2436/7). A raised sub-circular area (dims. 7.75m N-S; 6.95m E-W) defined by the remains of a shallow fosse (max. basal Wth 2.75m; max. overall Wth 5.45m; D 0.05m) from ESE-S-WNW. The N sector of the monument, at edge of a dry watercourse, appears to have been levelled during drainage works. The interior has a D-shaped depression (Dth c. 0.015m) off-centre to the S.
