The National Monuments Service's description
In gently undulating pastureland. This overgrown circular enclosure (diam. c. 10m) is defined by a narrow earthen bank (Wth 0.5-0.6m; int. H 0.6-0.8m; ext. H 1.6-1.8m) which is overgrown with trees and piled with field clearance material. A shallow dip at E and W indicates the line of a possible external fosse and a very slight rise from SSE to S an outer bank. The interior slopes toward the centre and is partially overgrown and stony.
