Situated on top of natural ridge. Sub-circular area (int. dims. 26m E-W, 19m N-S) enclosed by much-degraded earthen bank (Wth 4.5m, H 0.4m internally, 1.3m externally) now visible as scarped platform, except in W quadrant. Traces of fosse (Wth 4m, D 0.7m) and internal berm-like feature (Wth 5.5m) at base of platform. No visible trace of ancient entrance. Much of the W half of interior is taken up by a depression and banks of uncertain significance.
This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
