The National Monuments Service's description
In level pasture, in undulating countryside. A circular area (c. 30m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 4m; int. H 0.95m; ext. H 1.25m) with cattle gaps at S and SSE. A slight trace of an external fosse, which is waterlogged in places, is visible SW-N. The level interior is covered with overgrowth. There is a possible causeway entrance (Wth c. 1.5m) at WSW. Field boundaries abut the bank at NE, SE and SSW.
