  Description

  On a slight rise in well-drained pasture. Described in 1986 as a very overgrown but fairly well-preserved, small, raised, circular area (int. diam. 25m) defined by a scarp (H 1.5-2m) and an outer fosse (Wth 2m) which had been recut as a field drain, and widened W-N into a livestock watering hole. The interior was heavily poached by livestock taking shelter on the monument and an enclosing bank, first noted in 1955, was no longer visible (SMR file).
