The National Monuments Service's description
Situated immediately S of a field boundary on a gentle SE-facing slope in undulating pasture. The monument is a sub-circular area (diam. 27.5m E-W by 20m N-S) defined from NE to S by a steep scarped edge (H 1m) and from S to NW by a gentler scarp (H c. 0.5m). A dip in the scarp at NE (Wth 9m) might be the original entrance. An external fosse (Wth 3m) is evident from NNE to SE. The interior surface is uneven and slopes gently down to the SE.
