The National Monuments Service's description
On a drumlin ridge. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. The monument has been levelled. However, a low scarp, extending in an arc from NE-S-W, may still be traced defining a circular area (diam. c. 53m). The original entrance is not recognisable. At the centre of the interior is a modern-looking mound of earth and stone.
