The National Monuments Service's description

On the crest of a ridge in undulating pastureland. This poorly preserved roughly subtrianglular enclosure (55m N-S; 42m E-W) is defined by a bank of earth and stone. A fosse and traces of a possible outer bank survive from SSW to WNW. A gap (Wth 2.4m) at N may be original.
