The enclosing stone bank is still visible N to E, where it is very low, measuring 2m-4m wide at the base and rising to .4m high. In the surviving interior, in the NE sector, is a large raised mound, 6m N-S, 5m E-W and c 1m high. NW of this is a small mound, 2m N-S, 3m E-W and .8m high. The above description is derived from C.
