The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle WNW-facing slope in pasture. Depicted as a circular tree-ring on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A raised circular area (diam. 34.9m) enclosed by a much-denuded, wide, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 8.4m; H 0.4m max.) with a wide shallow external fosse (Wth 4.3m; D 0.3m). A break (Wth 5.4m) in the bank at NE with an accompanying causeway may mark the original entrance.
