The National Monuments Service's description
On a rise in pastureland. Marked on the OS 1:2500 plan (surveyed 1912-16) as a bivallate circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m); an enclosed mixed tree plantation extended around it from NW to SE, the latter is not shown on the 1946 revision of the 6-inch map. No visible surface trace survives and a silage pit and sheds occupy the interior. The cartographic evidence suggests that this was probably a ringfort.
