The National Monuments Service's description
On a W-facing slope in low-lying grassland. Circular rath (diam. c. 31m), in fair condition, defined by two stone-faced banks and an intervening fosse. Overgrowth obscures the outer bank from S to W and no visible surface trace of it survives from W to N. A gap (Wth 1.7m) at E could be original. Field walls surround the monument from W through N to NE.
