The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle SE-facing slope in pasture. Described in 1986 (SMR file) as a raised subcircular area (c. 35m NW-SE; c. 32m NE-SW) enclosed by two low banks of earth and stone and two shallow fosses. A modern field wall cut across the line of the outer bank at ENE. The outermost fosse was identifiable only at N and NE. The original entrance may have been at NE. The monument is very densely overgrown with scrub.
