Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m). On inspection in November 1982 this area of rocky scrubland was densely overgrown with beech trees and briars. No visible surface trace of the monument survived. A small arc of upright flat limestone boulders was noted in the undergrowth immediately to the SW of the site. Current aerial imagery (Google 2019) indicates that this area has been subsequently cleared of overgrowth. Compiled by: Olive Alcock Date of upload: 19 July 2019
