The National Monuments Service's description
In rolling pasture. A raised circular area (diam. 34.9m) enclosed by a substantial bank of earth and stone (Wth 5.2m; H 0.4-1.2m) with a wide, deep, intervening fosse (Wth 4.6m; D 0.8m) and very fragmentary remains of a low outer bank (Wth 5.2m; H 0.1m). From NNW-N-ENE the bank and fosse have been modified and incorporated into a field boundary and no visible surface trace of the outer bank survives. The original entrance is not recognisable.
