The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on S-facing slope. Depicted as hachured oval enclosure on 1842 OS 6-inch map; on 1905 and 1936 OS 6-inch map as hachured scarp NE->ESE and hachured bank ESE->WSW. Oval area (90m N-S; 74m E-W) defined by earthen bank (int. H 1.2m; ext. H 0.9m) SSW->W, by slight rise W->E and elsewhere by scarp (H 1.9m), with slight internal lip. Interior raised on S side to compensate for hillslope; low ridge noted crossing N half of interior from E to W. Bullaun stone (13912) at E side of enclosure. Recorded by Bowman (1934, 403) as single-ramparted fort on Mrs Nash's land with 'about one-third of the circuit' still remaining (c. 3ft H) and interior c. 11/2ft higher than surrounding field.
