The National Monuments Service's description
On a small level platform at base of a gently sloping terrace and cut off from the terrace by two small streams which run down the hillside into the Nore river valley. There are very good views N-S along the terrace and across the valley. A circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) defined by a bank (Wth c. 1.5m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H c. 0.5m). The bank only survives from N-E-S.
