The National Monuments Service's description
On level, poorly drained pasture. A raised roughly oval area (c. 36m NW–SE; c. 30m NE–SW) defined by a scarp (H 1.4-2m). A report in 1968 (SMR file) recorded a fosse and an outer bank; these were not visible when inspected in 1999. The original entrance is not recognisable.
