The National Monuments Service's description
On the NE slope of a ridge in pasture. A raised subcircular area (diam. c. 42m) enclosed by a low bank of earth and stone (Wth 2.5-3m; H 0.4m). From W-N-ENE the bank has been modified and incorporated into modern field boundaries. From SSE-S-SSW it has been levelled. There is no trace of a fosse and the original entrance is not recognisable.
