The National Monuments Service's description
In level pasture. A large oval area (84m NW–SE; 75.5 NE–SW) enclosed at NW and from N–E–SSE by a much-denuded bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.2-7m; H 0.3-1m). From S–W–WNW the bank has been modified and incorporated into a field boundary. At its external base at E is a shallow fosse (Wth 4.3m; D 0.2m). The original entrance is not recognisable. Within the SE quadrant of the interior are the remains of a rectangular house site (LF009-019002-).
