The National Monuments Service's description
On a slight rise in gently undulating pasture. A circular area (int. diam. 26m) is defined by a low earthen bank (Wth 1.5m; int H 0.2m; ext. H 0.6m) and a broad but shallow outer fosse (Wth 4m; D 0.2m). A gap at E may mark the original entrance. The nettle-grown interior slopes gently down to E. There is a possible standing stone site (KD006-010----) c. 90m to the SE.
