The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a SW-facing slope. A roughly circular area (27m NW-SE) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3.65m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.55m) NW-SW, which is best preserved along the S arc. The W arc is truncated by a N-S field boundary. The interior slopes gently down to the SW. Numerous breaches occur in the bank.
