The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on the E-facing slopes of a N-S ridge overlooking undulating farmland to the E. An arc (C 28m) of an earthen field boundary (max. Wth 1.2m; max. H 1.4m) with stone inclusions is evident E-W. The field boundary is covered with overgrowth and the interior is heavily overgrown with ferns, briars and bushes, and is inaccessible. This may be the remains of a circular or D-shaped enclosure.
