The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating farmland. This small subcircular enclosure (int. diam. c. 18.5m), in fair condition, is defined from N through E to S by a low earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.55m; ext. H 0.45m) and from S to WNW by a scarp. There is a wide gap from WNW to N. The interior is slightly lower than the surrounding field level. (Holt 1911, 230, no. 20)
