The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating pasture. Roughly circular area (26m N-S; 28m E-W) defined by scarped edge (H: 1.9m at N; 0.65m at S), with external fosse SE->NW (D 0.5m; Wth 1.5m), and with external earth-and-stone bank (int. H 0.15; ext. H 0.2m) NW->NE. Scarp is obscured by dense overgrowth especially on S side. Immediately outside fosse at W is roughly circular raised area (6.5m E-W; max. H 0.95m). Interior surface is uneven but largely clear of overgrowth; W-of-centre is shallow oval depression.
