The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle SE-facing slope in pasture. A report in 1976 (SMR file) noted that this raised subcircular area (c. 44m N-S; c. 38m E-W) was enclosed by a bank of earth and stone, a fosse and a low outer bank. It is defined by a scarp (H 1m) at the base of which, from NW-N-SE, is a shallow external fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.2-0.4m). The outer bank has since been levelled. The original entrance is not recognisable.
