What is recorded here
Situated on the SE-facing slope of a large hill, in rolling pasture on uneven ground. The monument is obscured by dense scrub vegetation. It is depicted on the 1924 OS 6-inch map as a circular area enclosed by a bank (diam. c. 25m) on 3 quadrants and by a field wall on the E quadrant. It survives as a sub circular area (15m WNW-ESE; 18m N-S) defined to N, E and S by a scarped edge, and not defined at all to W. The scarp (Wth. 2.6m; H 1.1m) has been eroded by cattle and is shallowest to ESE (Wth. 3m). The interior surface is uneven and masked by nettle growth. It slopes slightly down to E. There is a low mound of grass-covered stones (4.8m N-S; 3.8m E-W; H 0.8m) in the E quadrant of the interior, at the edge of the scarp. This appears to be a recent deposition.
