The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle W-facing slope, just off the crest of a hill, in pasture. It is c. 50m S of a domestic well known as 'Tobershee' and c. 50m N of a possible enclosure (TS077-098----). The monument is depicted as a circular enclosure on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map with a public road truncating the W quadrant. On the 2nd (1906) ed. only the E half of the monument is depicted (dims. c. 63m N-S), delimited by a single bank. The enclosure has been levelled, as has the field boundary to the S. There is no visible trace of the enclosure at ground level.
