The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on NW of summit of a broad ridge. Visible on aerial photograph (GB90.BZ.18). Two sides (the SE and NE) remain of what seems to have been an enclosure, some 23m across, bounded by a low bank. Adjoining it at the SSW is a sub-rectangular earthen platform (L c. 18m; Wth c. 15m; H 0.6m-2m), possibly a house site (LH003-049002-).
