The National Monuments Service's description
On a steep-sided ridge in low-lying pasture. A raised subcircular platform (38.5m E-W; 36m N-S) defined by a steep scarp (H 1.6-2.2m). There is no trace of a fosse and the original entrance is not recognisable. The ground level of the platform is uneven. A possible house site (LF027-040002-) is associated.
