The National Monuments Service's description
Situated immediately W of a field boundary, in level pasture. The monument is masked by dense scrub vegetation cover. A sub-rectangular platform (26.7-34.5m N-S; 19.7-26m E-W), best preserved from W to NE and from SSW to E, surrounded on four sides by a fosse (Wth 1.8m; ext. D 0.2m; int. D 0.5m). The fosse on the E side has been encroached on by a now-dilapidated field wall. The platform is slightly shallower on the E side which might represent an entrance. Barry (1981a, 84; no 30) lists this as a moated site.
