In flat wet pasture in undulating countryside with good views in all directions. There is no visible trace at ground level of the enclosure indicated on the OS 6-inch maps, probably the result of levelling. On the 1st (1840) ed. the monument is depicted as a roughly oval area (dims. c. 50m N-S; c. 65m E-W) with an inner and outer enclosing element, with the intervening area shaded. A limekiln is depicted in the NE quadrant, at the edge of the inner enclosing element. On the subsequent 1903 ed. OS 6-inch map it is depicted as a circular enclosure defined by a bank and outer fosse. Described Cahill (1975) as a large circular enclosure defined by a bank and a ditch and was levelled between 1975 and 2001.
