Marked as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 30m) on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a slight NW-SE ridge. An arc (C 16m) of a field bank (Wth 1m; H 1.4m) survives W-N, but this is unlikely to have been part of the monument. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 24 August 2010
