The 1840 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map marked a circular embanked enclosure with an external diameter of about 30 to 35 metres. That same account recorded the site in pasture on a gentle southwest-facing slope and stated that it was not visible at ground level during the observation recorded there.
