The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle NNE-facing slope in pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 50.4m) enclosed by a very low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.9m; H 0.2m max.) with an external fosse (Wth 4m; D 0.25m), which is identifiable only from NNE-E-ESE. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded an outer bank at NW and N and noted that the original entrance may have been at SE. The outer bank has since been levelled and the entranceway is no longer identifiable.
