The National Monuments Service's description
In gently undulating pastureland. This roughly circular ecclesiastical enclosure (diam. c. 180m) is defined by two banks of earth and stone with an intervening fosse. The inner bank (Wth 1m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.1m) is visible except at NE and from WSW to WNW. The fosse (Wth 2.9m; D 0.4m) and outer bank (Wth 1.1m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.1m) are best preserved from SE to S and from NW to N. A medieval church (GA118-057002-) and graveyard (GA118-057003-) are located just to the NE of the centre of the interior. Within the N sector a series of low banks may indicate internal divisions.
