The National Monuments Service's description
On the crest of a steep SE-facing slope in a NW-SE valley in upland pasture, with good views all round. Only the S and W portions survive of a circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m). A short (5m) length of bank survives at SE (Wth 3m; H 1.5m). At N and E the bank has been entirely removed. An external fosse (Wth 3m; int. H 1.75m; ext. H c. 1m) also survives at S and W. This is skirted by a field bank. The interior is flat and featureless.
