The National Monuments Service's description
On SE-facing slope in rough pasture in an upland area with undulating terrain. Monument has been ploughed out but is still visible as a roughly circular raised area (dims. 26.3m N-S x 29.4 E-W) with evidence of fosse (Wth c. 2m; D 0.1m) to the NW. The bank in the SE quadrant is particularly flattened, disappearing into the natural hill slope. Interior slopes steeply to SE and is grass covered. The N quadrant is particularly denuded, possibly where a tractor gains access to the monument.
