The National Monuments Service's description
On a hummock in otherwise level grassland. Poorly preserved subcircular enclosure (c. 100m E-W; c. 80m N-S) defined by a degraded earthen bank from NW through N to E and by a scarp from SW to NW. Farm buildings occupy the SE sector of the interior and no visible surface traces of the enclosing elements survive here. A trackway cuts across the monument from NNW to S.
