The National Monuments Service's description

In open, flat, mixed tillage and pasture which slopes gently down towards the E. Described in 1972 as a roughly circular area (diam. 41m) defined by a low bank of earth and stone, hedged to enclose the paddocked interior, and an outer fosse recut as a field drain (SMR file). The hedged bank has been levelled and the recut fosse (Wth 3m) encloses an interior which is now used as a haggard, with modern entrances at NE and S.
