The National Monuments Service's description
On a low rise in poor rushy pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A circular area (diam. 26.7m) enclosed from SE-S-NW by a largely levelled bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.8m; H 0.2m). Elsewhere the bank has been modified and incorporated into a field boundary with an external fosse. The original entrance is not recognisable.
