The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the summit of a broad oval NE-SW ridge. Listed as 'Enclosure' in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). A circular grass-covered area (diam. 28m N-S; 26m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.2-0.6m S-N) merging into a natural slope (H 2.8m) at E. There is no visible fosse, but the entrance may have been at SSW where the scarp is lowest (H 0.2m).
