The National Monuments Service's description
On gradual E-facing slope in generally undulating terrain, under tillage. Enclosure (TS077-050----) would have been visible to S. Monument depicted as circular area (dims. c. 47.5m) on 2nd (1906) ed. OS 6-inch map. No visible trace of monument above ground. Enclosure showed up as a circular cropmark on aerial photograph (CUCAP July 1970 BDR 68), indicating the former fosse. A large gap in the fosse in the NE quadrant probably indicated a former causewayed entrance. There is a pond immediately W of the enclosure. The field boundaries to W and S have been levelled. A stream runs roughly N-S c. 150m E of the monument, at base of slope.
