The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on S-facing slope of E-W ridge. Sub-circular area (14m N-S; 19m E-W) enclosed by much-eroded earth-and-stone bank except SE->SW where edge defined by top line of steep natural incline. Bank best preserved SW->W and NW->N (int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.4m), latter section overgrown with gorse; otherwise bank reduced to low stony rise (Wth c. 4m; H c. 0.25m). Immediately outside bank on N side is E-W field boundary. Interior strewn with loose stones probably derived from eroding bank.
