The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle NE-facing slope in low-lying pasture, within a dense plantation of coniferous trees. Depicted as an oval enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A raised oval area (c. 52m NW-SE; c. 40m NE-SW) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone. The monument is densely covered with vegetation and trees which hindered a proper inspection.
