OSi 6-inch map as a circular-shaped platform (diam. c. 30m) defined by a scarp with interior planted with trees. Site indicated with a grove of trees on 1897 ed. OSi 25 inch map, possibly indicating the site of a tree-ring. Monument visible as an oval-shaped area overgrown with trees on OSi orthophotograph taken between 2005-12 and Google Earth orthoimages.
