The National Monuments Service's description
In level, low-lying pasture. A slightly raised rectangular area (c. 38m NW-SE; c. 30m NE-SW) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 2.2m; H 0.2-0.3m) with a shallow, infilled, external fosse. From SW-W-WNW the bank and fosse have been modified where the bank is incorporated into a field boundary. The monument is divided into unequal portions by a NE-SW field boundary. The smaller portion, to the SE, has been levelled but its outline is still identifiable. The original entrance is not recognisable.
