The National Monuments Service's description
On a low NW-SE ridge in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 26.8m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 4.2m; H 0.55m max.) with a shallow external fosse (Wth 3.9m; D 0.2m). From NNE-E-SSE the bank and fosse have been levelled and the defining element is a low scarp (H 0.7m). The original entrance is not recognisable.
