The National Monuments Service's description
On top of a N-S drumlin ridge in pasture. A raised roughly oval area (34.5m E-W; 31.5m N-S) enclosed by a substantial bank of earth and stone (Wth 7.5m; H 1.35m) and an external fosse (Wth 2.5-3.5m; D 0.3m), which is identifiable only from NW-N-E. A break (Wth 6m) in the bank at ENE probably marks the original entrance.
