The National Monuments Service's description
On a W-facing pasture slope. Described (pers. comm. M. Byrne) as a partially overgrown, sub-circular area (c. 32m E-W; c. 30m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (av. H 0.4m) which is incorporated into a field boundary along its northern arc. No visible entrance or fosse. The interior is flat, slopes gently W, and the S-half contains a number of trees. Known locally as 'Piper's Hill Fort'.
