The National Monuments Service's description

On a gradual SE-facing slope in gently undulating terrain, on a low natural ridge running NE-SW. Enclosure (TS081-035----) now levelled would have been visible c. 250m to the S. Enclosure (diam. c. 40m) is bisected by an earthen field boundary with stone revetting, running N-S, and is respected by a field boundary running NE-SW. The site is depicted on the 1st (1840) ed. OS 6-inch map as a circular, banked enclosure with trees in the interior. On the subsequent 2nd (1906) ed. the monument is not marked implying that the site was levelled between 1840 and 1906. The W side of the enclosure is in tillage, the former bank is faintly discernible as a curving rise (Wth 5m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.18m) in the field. The E side is under grass with no visible trace above ground. According to the landowner the corner of the tillage field where the monument was located is noted as being particularly stony.
