The National Monuments Service's description
On a knoll towards the bottom of an E-facing slope, in a reclaimed area. A circular enclosure (27.8m E-W; 31m N-S) defined by a scarp (H 0.8m at N and S; 1.2m at E) and cut to W of centre by a N-S field wall. At E there is a straight edge (L 9m) and a berm (Wth 4.5m) before the natural slope resumes. W of the field wall the platform is only 0.3m in height. A network of ruined field boundaries survives to the N of a modern E-W field boundary 6m to the N of the enclosure. Visible on Bing aerial photographs taken in 2012, http://binged.it/1vsE5ld and accessed 30 September 2014.
