The National Monuments Service's description

No surface remains visible of monument now located underneath modern housing estate. Annotated 'Fort' on the 1837 OS Fair Plan map. Depicted on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map as a roughly circular-shaped enclosure (approx. diam. 49m) with a quarry in the SW quadrant. Monument is not visible today on Digital Globe aerial photography as the area is now occupied by a modern housing estate.
