The National Monuments Service's description
In level pasture. Roughly circular area (27m N-S; 24m E-W) defined by scarped edge (H 0.9m; Wth 3m), with external fosse (D 0.4m; Wth 2.05m) SW->NW. Outer edge of fosse is truncated by N-S field boundary WSW->WNW. A counterscarp bank (H 0.3m) survives in tow short sections SW->WSW and WNW->NW. Scarp is covered by overgrowth of trees and bushes but gap in vegetation at E gives access to interior which is under grass and slopes down gently to N.
