What is recorded here
On a knoll in low-lying pasture. Depicted as a roughly circular enclosure on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded a raised circular area (diam. c. 23m) defined by a scarp with vague traces of an external fosse. The original entrance was not recognisable. The monument is not visible at ground level.
