The National Monuments Service's description
In level pasture. Enclosure and area immediately around it are covered by dense overgrowth of trees and bushes. Roughly circular area (diam. c. 20m) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 1m; ext. H 1.3m) with external fosse (Wth 2m; D 0.6m), except NW->NE where enclosing element almost completely levelled. Field boundary, shown abutting enclosure on S side on 1923 OS 6-inch map, has been removed. Low earthen bank runs S from SE corner of enclosure for 18m before turning at right angle to E and running a further 24m where it ends short of N-S field boundary.
