The National Monuments Service's description
On a NE-facing slope, just below the crest in gently undulating pasture. Field boundary immediately W of enclosure kinks out to respect it. Monument idenfied as enclosure on early 19th-century estate map 'A survey of the estate of Jn Bagwell Esq...in Iffa & Offa by John Longfield 1815' (NLI 21.F.46). Though the enclosure has been ploughed out is is visible as a roughly circular area (diam. 31.3m N-S; 30.2m E-W) defined by a broad, low earthen bank (Wth 6.8m; int. H 0.11m; ext. H 0.26m) and traces of an external fosse (Wth c. 5.9m).
