The National Monuments Service's description
In rolling pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 31.8m) enclosed by a substantial bank of earth and stone (Wth 4.3m; H 0.1-1.3m) with an infilled external fosse (Wth c. 3.5m). From WSW-N-ENE the bank has been modified and incorporated into a field boundary and the fosse has been destroyed due to the construction of a NE-SW roadway. The original entrance is not recognisable.
