The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, at the E end of a ridge. A circular mound (diam. 20.8m; H 0.55m) defined by a fosse (Wth c. 4m) and an external bank (Wth 7.45m; int. H 1m; ext. H 1.35m). The W half of the mound appears to be slightly flatter on top than the E half and cultivation ridges (Wth c. 1m) were noted in the N quadrant. The bank is overgrown in places and denuded by cattle. The entrance (Wth c. 2m) is at E where there is also a causeway across the fosse. The bank is slightly denuded on either side of the entrance. A rock lies in the middle of the entrance, in line with the external edge the bank. There is also a cattle gap in the bank at W. Some rocks have been dumped into the fosse at N. A NE-SW field boundary may have been incorporated into the bank at NE. A second field boundary, on an E-W axis, extends to W from the bank at NW. There is a limekiln (KE059-044----) c. 80m to the NE.
