A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded that, although largely levelled, the outline of a bank and an external fosse could still be traced defining a circular area (diam. c. 22m). Traces of a possible outer bank were identifiable at S. The original entrance may have been at SW. The monument is not visible at ground level. Compiled by: Patrick F.
