Towards the top of the W-facing slope of a hill. Circular grass-covered area (diam. 52m N-S; 51m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.5-4m; int. H 0.4-0.5m; ext. H 1m) and slight traces of a fosse (Wth of base 2.2-3.6m; D 0.1m) NW-NNE and ENE-SSE with a slight scarp (H 0.3m) elsewhere, except SSE-SSW where the perimeter merges into the hillslope. There is no identifiable original entrance, and a relict NNE-SSW field bank, now removed, bisected the monument. Archaeological testing (97E0315) c. 100m to the E, and monitoring in the vicinity, failed to produce any evidence of ancient activity (Dunne 1998). See the attached aerial view taken from the ENE.
