The National Monuments Service's description

Just off the crest of a S-facing slope in undulating terrain, under tillage. There are limited views to N and E and
very good to extensive views SW-W-NW. Aerial photograph (GB90.BM.23) shows cropmark of a D-shaped enclosure with an entrance facing south. There is no visible trace of this enclosure at ground level.
