Walk the low rise of undulating land where it once stood and you would find nothing to indicate that anything was ever there, save for a conspicuous heap of earth and rounded stones pushed up against the southern field boundary, deposited precisely along the stretch where the earthwork used to be, as if the land itself kept a faint memory of what was cleared away.

The 1905 Ordnance Survey six-inch map tells a different story. At that time, a curvilinear scarp, the kind of raised or cut earthen bank that typically defines an enclosed area, traced a broad arc from the south-east, around to the west, and back to the north-east, forming the outline of an enclosure. Beyond the monument to the east, a linear scarp of roughly thirty metres continued before turning at a right angle and extending approximately sixty-five metres to the north. Irregular field boundaries, since removed, enclosed a small field to the north and west of the site on the same map edition, and a further boundary ran some one hundred and twenty-five metres from the northern end of the earthwork toward a neighbouring enclosure to the south-east. By the time the site was formally recorded, all of this had been dismantled or absorbed into the surrounding agricultural land, leaving only the displaced spoil as physical evidence that something once occupied this particular stretch of ground.
