The National Monuments Service's description
On a rise in grassland. Marked on the 1838 edition of the OS 6-inch map as a subectangular enclosure (c. 49m NW-SE; c. 45m NE-SW); a NE-SW running trackway runs immediately to its SE. On the OS 1:2500 plan (surveyed 1912-16) it appears as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 39m). It is not shown on the 1945 revision of the 6-inch map. No visible surface trace survives.
