The National Monuments Service's description
In gently undulating, unimproved, rough pasture with limited views of the surrounding landscape due to dense overgrowth of thorn trees. Not depicted on OS historic mapping. A roughly oval area (23m N-S; 20m E-W) defined by the remains of a wide earthen and stone bank (int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.2m; Wth at top 3.65m; overall Wth 5.8m), where seen N-E-S. Only the external scarp (Wth 3.25m; H 0.6m) of the bank could be seen S-W-N, where obscured by overgrowth. The interior is also densely overgrown and is largely impenetrable.
