The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a rise, in pasture. Depicted on the 1837 OS Fair Plan map as a roughly circular-shaped enclosure. Shown on the 1837 ed. OS 6-inch map as a suboval-shaped enclosure (approx. dims. 45m NE-SW; 41m NW-SE). Not depicted on the revised 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map. Monument described in 1973 as a roughly circular-shaped, much disturbed earthwork which is defined by field boundaries from W-N-NE and it is difficult to trace the original embankment from NE-E-S-W. The monument has been quarried across the N and S sector. The interior has an E-facing slope and is partially overgrown with bushes and briars. Monument is visible today as a tree-planted earthwork on Digital Globe aerial photography.
