The National Monuments Service's description
In level open grassland, formerly part of Dunsandle Demesne. This roughly circular platform (diam. 31m) is defined by a scarp (H 1m). Slight traces of a shallow fosse were noted from E to SW on inspection in April 1981 (SMR file). Apart from some slight humps and hollows the interior was clear.
