Situated on a slight rise, in low-lying marshy land, overlooked by higher ground in all directions. Depicted on Boyd Belvedere Estate Map of 1818 as a circular-shaped area defined by a perforated line. Depicted on 1837 OS 6-inch map as a large circular-shaped earthwork (approx. dims. 75m E-W; 73m N-S) enclosed by a wide bank. Monument described in 1971 as a very large, irregular-shaped earthwork enclosed by a bank and external fosse with no clear entrance feature visible. The earthen bank is steep and well preserved, except where it is reduced to a scarp at NE and has been disturbed by gaps elsewhere. The slight remains of an outer fosse are best preserved at SW. The interior rises gradually from the perimeter towards the centre and is disturbed by cultivation ridges.
