The National Monuments Service's description
On a prominent ridge in pastureland. This oval enclosure (c. 40m E-W; 34m N-S) is defined by a much-degraded bank of earth and stone. The interior is level. A trackway curves around the enclosure from NE to E respecting the line of the bank. The monument was identified by the landowner.
