The National Monuments Service's description
In level pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 34.5m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.6m; H 0.1-0.5m) with a shallow external fosse (Wth 2.9m; D 0.2m). From WNW-N-SE the fosse has been infilled but its outline is still identifiable. From S-W-WNW the bank and fosse have been modified where the bank has been incorporated into a modern field boundary. A poorly defined break (Wth c. 3.2m) in the bank at NE may mark the original entrance.
