The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle NE-facing slope in pasture. A large, raised, roughly oval area (88m E-W; 70m N-S) enclosed by a wide low bank of earth and stone (Wth 5-5.2m; H 1-1.9m) with an external fosse (Wth 4m; D 0.5-1m), which is identifiable only from W-N-NNE. Elsewhere it has been infilled but its outline is still visible. The original entrance is not recognisable.
