The monument has been broken through in a number of places by tracks and is mutilated in the north-east corner by quarrying but a probable original entrance is recognisable in the s side where there is the faint trace of a causeway. The site most probably served a defensive purpose. Excavation in 1887 by F James and F Lasham produced only finds, including a flint scraper, flakes, animal bone and ashes. Scheduled Monument.
