The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in low-lying pasture, approximately 35m S of a stream. Monument described in 1981 as a raised circular-shaped area (diam. 60m NE-SW) enclosed by a bank best preserved from W-N and reduced to a scarp from ENE-E-ESE. The bank is incorporated into a modern field boundary from SE-S-SW. The interior has evidence of cultivation ridges. No surface remains visible today on Digital Globe aerial photographs.
