The National Monuments Service's description
On generally level ground overgrown with scrub, overlooked by an elongated ridge to the S and higher rocky ground to the E and with limited views. Hachured on the 1842 OS 6-inch map and partially hachured and indicated on the 1915 ed.
A roughly circular, overgrown enclosure (30m N-S; 26m E-W) defined by a bank of stone and earth which on inspection in1998 was barely visible at NE and has been levelled from E to SE. The SW extent of the site is much lower than the remainder and later field walls have been removed.
