The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on gentle SW-facing slope. Roughly circular area (22.3m N-S; 20.6m E-W) defined by scarped edge (H 0.4m; Wth 4.6m), best preserved NNE->E and SW->NW. A slight dip (D 0.2m) immediately to W of scarp, with low rise (H 0.15m) running along its outer edge, is probably natural feature. Interior is under pasture except for S half which is covered with briars. Immediately N of enclosure is area of limestone outcrop.
