The National Monuments Service's description
On a low ridge in pasture. A slightly raised circular area (diam. c. 26m) enclosed by a narrow low bank of earth and stone (Wth 2m; H 0.2m). A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded an external fosse, which has since been infilled. From NE-S-W the bank has been modified and incorporated into a field boundary. There are modern breaks in the bank at NE and SE but the original entrance is not recognisable.
