The National Monuments Service's description
On a rise in undulating grassland. This poorly preserved roughly oval enclosure (c. 63m E-W; c. 45m N-S) is defined by an earthen bank from NNW to E and from SE to S; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. A field wall cuts across it from NW to SW and a deep gravel pit has been dug into the interior at E. Another enclosure (GA097-106----) lies c. 225m to the NNE.
