The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle NE-facing slope in pasture. A raised roughly oval area (31.9m NNE-SSW; 25.7m ENE-WSW) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.6m; H 1.1m max.) with an external fosse (Wth c. 8.5m; D 0.6m). From SSW-N-ENE the outer face of the bank and the fosse have been modified and incorporated into the field-boundary system. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior is densely overgrown with scrub.
