The National Monuments Service's description
In wet, low-lying pasture. A raised oval area (49m ENE-WSW; 46.9m NNW-SSE) enclosed by a substantial bank of earth and stone (Wth 4.3m; H 0.2-0.95m) with an external fosse (Wth 4.4m; D 1m). The fosse is wide and deep from SSE-S-NNW. From NNW-N-SSE both it and the outer face of the bank have been modified and incorporated into a field boundary. The original entrance is not recognisable.
