On roadside 70m ENE of a similar monument (GA017-144----). Marked on OS 6-inch maps as a circular enclosure (D c. 20m). What is visible is a circular platform (D c. 11.6m), in fair condition, defined by a scarp (H 2m max. at NE). This is supplemented from S to W by traces of an external fosse and outer bank. The surface of the platform is uneven. Possibly a house, a landscape feature, or even a windmill mound. (Neary 1914, 116, no. 156)
