The National Monuments Service's description
In gently undulating pasture, on the W side of a stream. A roughly circular area (20m N-S; 21.5m E-W) enclosed by an earthen bank (int. H 0.45m; ext. H 1.05m) E->SW, and defined by a scarped edge (H 1.1m; Wth 1m) SE->N, and defined by a steep cliff edge (H c. 6m) N->SE which rises from the W bank of the stream. The ground rises sharply beyond the enclosing element on the landward side. The interior is level and under grass, though its surface becomes uneven along the top edge of the scarp. A similar enclosure lies directly across the stream to the NE (LI018-064---).
