The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle E-facing slope in pasture. A slightly raised circular area (diam. c. 34m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 2.4m; H 0.2m), which has been modified and incorporated into an NE-SW field boundary from WNW-N-NNE. A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded a shallow fosse at SE, which is no longer identifiable. The original entrance is not recognisable. The interior is bisected by a low E-W bank of earth and stone (Wth 1.3m; H 0.3m) with traces of an accompanying fosse.
