The National Monuments Service's description
On a N-facing slope in grassland. This pear-shaped enclosure (85m NE-SW; 72.5m NW-SE), in fair condition, is defined by a bank from ENE through E to SSE; elsewhere a scarp forms the enclosing element. Several low earthen banks radiate from it at NNW, SSE, and S, and traces of a trackway (L c. 130m), defined by two parallel earthen banks, extend from it at SW. (ASGAP 172:27)
