The National Monuments Service's description
On an ENE-facing slope in pasture. An extensive plantation of mature deciduous trees lies immediately to the W. A raised roughly oval area (c. 40m N-S; c. 35m E-W) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 3.4m; H 0.4m) with a shallow external fosse (Wth 3m; D 0.35m). A short segment of the bank has been removed at NE, and from SSW-SW-W both the bank and fosse have been removed and replaced by a modern field boundary. A poorly defined break (Wth 2.9m) in the bank at E with fragmentary traces of a possible accompanying causeway may mark the original entrance. A bullaun stone (LF019-068005-) lies c. 4m to the ESE, while a short distance to the SW there is another bullaun stone (LF019-068002-). A ring-barrow (LF019-068003-) lies c. 25m to the SSW.
