The National Monuments Service's description
On an ESE-facing slope in pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. The monument has been almost completely levelled. However, the outline of its perimeter may still be traced enclosing a circular area (diam. c. 28m). The original entrance is not recognisable.
