The National Monuments Service's description
On a SW-facing slope in poor, wet pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 23.4m) enclosed by a wide, low bank of earth and stone (Wth 6.2m; H 0.3-1.1m) that has been scarped at SW. A report in 1975 (SMR file) recorded a wide, deep, intervening fosse and an outer bank. The fosse (Wth c. 3.8m) has been infilled for most of its circuit and only its outline is identifiable. The outer bank is not visible. A break (Wth 3.1m) in the bank at SE with an accompanying causeway may mark the original entrance.
