This monument is depicted as an irregularly shaped, scrub-covered enclosure on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map and as an oval enclosure on the 1945 edition. An arc (Chord 30m N-S) of an overgrown earthen bank (at W: Wth of base 2.5m; int. H 1.2m; ext. H 1.35m) with traces of an external fosse survives at W.
