  Description

  On a low rise in pasture. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded a raised circular area (diam. c. 30m) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone with an external fosse. The enclosing elements had been levelled but could still be traced. The original entrance was not recognisable. Further levelling has since occurred and the monument is not visible at ground level.
