The National Monuments Service's description

On an E-facing slope in undulating pastureland. Marked on the OS 6-inch maps as an oval enclosure (c. 55m E-W; c. 45m N-S). The monument has been levelled and apart from a slight rise in the field level and slight traces of a possible fosse, no visible surface trace survives.
