The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture. A circular area (c. 37m N-S; 36m E-W) defined by two earthen banks with an intervening fosse and an outer fosse. The inner bank (Wth 5.4m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 1m) has rough stone-facing on its internal face along the SW arc. The intervening fosse (Wth 2.4m), the outer bank (Wth 6.3m; int. H 0.9m; ext. H 1m) and the outer fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.2m) occur all around. An intermittent rise (H 0.1m) is visible outside the outer fosse along the SW arc. The interior is heavily covered with overgrowth and there is a possible hut site (KE039-090001-) in the SW quadrant.
