The monument has been levelled and no visible surface trace survives; the area has been incorporated into a farmyard, and a silage pit and outbuildings have been constructed on it. A limekiln shown along its N boundary on 1st ed. of OS 6-inch map is still intact. A CBG (GA029-153002-) is associated.
