The National Monuments Service's description

On a moderately steep N-facing slope in improved pasture. In 1985 a rectangular area (dims. L 46m E-W; traceable Wth 25m) was noted, defined on its E and W sides by broad, shallow fosses (Wth 3m along E, 6m along W; D 0.2-0.5m), by a high (H2m) scarp along the N, and by a graveyard (KD004-031003-) at S (SMR file). Land improvement has resulted in the levelling of the N scarp and the infilling of the fosses whose location is now indicated by an intermittent vegetation band. (CUCAP BDR 32 (1970)).
