The National Monuments Service's description

Within area of active gravel quarry, surrounding land in undulating pasture. No visible trace as entire area of monument quarried. Depicted on 1st ed. OS 6-inch map (1840-41) and on the latest ed. as an oval enclosure (dims. c. 50m N-S; c. 38m E-W) defined by multiple banks and fosses on current OS 6-inch map. Flynn (1913, 11) describes the monument as a 'large mound slightly oval in shape. Fosses and ramparts have again been constructed where the mound cuts the hill-top, but the sides are merely scarped away', a plan and section is also included (ibid., 12, No.2). Monument clearly visible on aerial photograph taken in 1966 (CUCAP 13 July 1966, APA 14) but had been badly damaged by quarrying by 1974 (GSI 16.4.1974, R. 516/515). Enclosure (TS067-011002-) c. 100m to E, motte and bailey (TS067-011003-) c. 110m to SE and church (TS067-011004-) and graveyard (TS067-011006-) c. 215m and c. 180m to E respectively.
