The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in gently undulating pasture. Depicted on the revised 1913 ed. OS 25-inch map as an oval-shaped earthwork (dims. 36m NW-SE; 31m NE-SW). Levelled monument described by the ASI in 2005 as not visited. Outline of levelled monument is visible today on Digital Globe aerial photography as a partial cropmark from W-N-E-S which is transected by a linear field boundary running NW-SE across the SW sector.
