The National Monuments Service's description
Situated just off the crest of the W-facing slope of a slight ENE-WSW ridge. Listed as 'Enclosure' in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). A circular grass-covered area (diam. 22.2m N-S; 19.3m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 2.8-4m; int. H 0.3-0.6m; ext. H 0.5m at E to 1.3m at W). There is no visible fosse, and there are many gaps in the bank but the entrance is likely to be at N (Wth 1.6m).
