The National Monuments Service's description
At the base of a low SE-facing hill in pasture. Extant remains comprise a raised circular area (diam. 41.1m) defined by a steep scarp (H 0.2-1.9m). A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded an external fosse and a low outer bank, both of which have since been levelled. The NE quadrant has been destroyed due to roadworks. The original entrance is not recognisable.
