The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a rise, in pasture, with good views of the surrounding landscape. Depicted on the 1910 ed. OS 25-inch map as a subcircular-shaped earthwork which is cut by a field boundary to SW and NW. Monument described in 1973 as a roughly circular-shaped area (diam. 25m) enclosed by a low bank. A field boundary to SW and NW cut the edge of the bank. The interior is relatively level with by the remains of a house site (WM031-091001-). Monument is visible today as a tree-planted earthwork on Digital Globe aerial photography.
