The National Monuments Service's description
In low-lying pasture. A raised oval area (58.7m NE-SW; 38.2m NW-SE) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 5.1m; H 0.6m max.) with a wide, deep, waterlogged external fosse (Wth 5.2m; D 0.5m). From NW-N-ESE the enclosing elements have been levelled. Elsewhere the bank is denuded almost to ground level and the fosse is largely infilled due to cattle-trampling. The original entrance is not recognisable.
