The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a N-facing slope. A roughly circular area (43m N-S; 46m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (int. H 1.45m; ext. H 1.6m) and fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.5m). The bank, which is largely obscured by vegetation cover, is best preserved at SSW where it reaches an external height of 2m. The fosse, best preserved SE-SW where it is heavily masked by briars, can be traced elsewhere as a slope into the external face of bank. Entrance (Wth 4.45m) at N. Largely level interior under pasture with a circular rise (diam. 8m; H 0.2m) c. 9.5m from bank at W.
