Interior covered in dense overgrowth; raised curvilinear feature defined by earthen bank (ext. Wth c. 3.5m; ext. H 0.65m) visible NNW-E-SSW. Possible annexe/second enclosure to SE, shown on current OS 6-inch map as circular area (diam. c. 20m) defined by scarp. Monument defined by public road to W and field fence radiates from NE.
