The National Monuments Service's description
In low-lying pasture. Depicted as a circular enclosure with the designation 'Fort' on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. A raised subcircular area (c. 45m N-S; c. 40m E-W) enclosed by a collapsed stone wall (Wth 1.8-2.6m; H 0.4-0.8m). A report in 1976 (SMR file) recorded an external fosse, which is no longer identifiable. The original entrance is not recognisable. The monument is densely overgrown with scrub.
