The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a gentle W-facing slope in poorly-drained, undulating pasture. The monument is obscured by dense scrub vegetation. It consists of a circular area (25.4m NW-SE; 25.8m NE-SW) enclosed by an earthen bank with an external fosse. The bank (Wth 1.9m; int. H 0.8m) is of uniform height. The fosse is wide and appears to be regular all round apart from at E where it is crossed by a causeway (Wth 3.5m; H 0.1 -0.15m). The interior surface is uneven and slopes down slightly to N.
