The National Monuments Service's description
In generally flat terrain in dense woodland of whitethorn, blackthorn and conifers. This monument is depicted as a roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) on the 1st (1843) ed. OS 6-inch map, the E quadrant has since been levelled, as is shown on the 1906 ed. The round-topped earthen bank (Wth 2.2m crest, 6.4m base; int. H 1.1m; ext. H 1.15m), covered in undergrowth, is visible from the S-W-N. There is an area of small scale quarrying in the NE and possible upcast surrounding this.
