The National Monuments Service's description
A sub-oval enclosure was identified through geophysical survey (Licence no. 06R0139) and confirmed though test-excavation (Licence no. 06E0799). The enclosure ditch (c. 40m diam.) encloses the summit and southest facing slope of a low hillock, flanked to east by low wet ground. It averages 3m in width. Truncation has occurred within the interior (Frazer 2007, 48).
