The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a slight rise, in gently undulating pasture, with good views to S. Depicted as a ‘circle of stones’ on the 1837 OS Fair Plan map. Monument described in 2003 as no surface remains visible. A building and a compound with a concrete yard are at this location. A mound (WM025-141001-) to E may be of archaeological interest.
