The National Monuments Service's description
Situated immediately NNE of a field boundary in flat pasture with good views in all directions. The monument consists of a roughly circular area (20m E-W; 19.7m N-S) defined by a scarped edge (Wth 8.8m; H 1.3m), with an external fosse (Wth 2.4m; D 0.1m) evident from N to SW. An animal track runs N-S along the scarp on the W side. The interior surface slopes down to the S.
