The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on S-facing slope. Circular area (20.5m N-S; 19.6m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 1.8m; ext. H 1.8m). Bank, best preserved at SSW where it borders marshy area, becomes scarp-like at SE (int. H 0.05m; ext. H 0.8m). Bank abutted by field boundaries at WNW and NNW. Entrance at SSE (Wth 3.7m). Interior, under pasture, slopes down to SSE. A drain skirts around external base of bank SSW->NNW, feeding into watercourse which snakes off downhill to SSE.
