The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on SE-facing slope into river valley. Roughly circular (diam. 31m) area enclosed by earthen bank with external fosse (D 0.2m; Wth 1.5m). Enclosing bank (int. H 0.2m; ext. H 1.15m) has a very low internal height becoming scarp-like in places. Bank is heavily masked by overgrowth and has been denuded by cattle at SSE and NNW. Boulders from field clearance have been dumped along edge of interior at NNE. Interior slopes gently down to SE and is strewn with fallen tree limbs and loose stones.
