The National Monuments Service's description
Situated within rough grazing, on flat land which slopes away slightly to the south west, now bounded to south by Heathfield housing estate and to north by the M50. This site comprises a circular platform (diam. 34m; H 1-1.8m). The bank has not survived and there are no traces of an external fosse. The entrance may have been in the west where farm machinery has damaged the site.
