The National Monuments Service's description
In open, level pasture. A poorly preserved, raised, circular area (int. diam. c. 19.5m) is defined by a scarp (H 1.5-2.2m), and an overgrown outer fosse which is best preserved SE-NW (Wth 4.8m; D 1m). There is a possible entrance at N and the overgrown interior slopes sharply down from N to S. Visible as being densely overgrown on a 2005 aerial photograph (OSi Orthophoto).
