The National Monuments Service's description
On a drumlin hill in pasture. A raised subcircular area (c. 45m N-S; c. 37m E-W) enclosed by a bank of earth and stone (Wth 4.7-5.2m; H 0.4-1m) with an external fosse (Wth 5-7.5m; D 0.2-1.25m), which is identifiable from W-N-SSE. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded a low outer bank and noted that the original entrance was at E. Neither of these features is identifiable.
