The National Monuments Service's description
In slightly elevated generally marshy terrain, on NE side of stream. Circular area (22.5m N-S; 22m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.1m) with external fosse (D 0.3m; Wth 3.5m) W->S, and defined by scarped edge S->W (this area impenetrable due to dense overgrowth). Entrance at NNW where break in bank (Wth 2m) corresponds with causeway across fosse. Interior surface is uneven and marshy. Field boundary skirts enclosure on N and E sides; just beyond enclosure to W is sharp natural fall in ground level.
