The National Monuments Service's description
In low-lying pasture. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded a raised oval area (c. 40m NE-SW; c. 30m NW-SE) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone with a wide external fosse. The original entrance was not recognisable. It has since been levelled and its location is marked by a very low, poorly defined rise.
