The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture on S-facing slope near the top of a rise overlooked by higher ground to the N and NW c. 35m S of a stream. Hachured on the 1840 and 1916 OS 6-inch maps. The later map depicts a bivallate enclosure. An oval enclosure (int. 24.5m N-S; 29m E-W) defined by a low earthen bank (H 0.15m; Wth 2.5-3m). A possible entrance exists at the SE. The interior is dished and covered in rushes.
