The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on N-facing slope of limestone hillock. Roughly circular area (diam. c. 20m) enclosed by two concentric earth-and-stone banks with an intervening fosse (Wth 2.1m). Inner bank (int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.8m), best preserved along N arc with remains of external stone facing, is completely hidden by overgrowth NE->WSW. Denuded outer bank (ext. H 0.5m) survives SW->N being best preserved SW->W. Causeway entrance (Wth 3.5m) at E. A farm passageway runs tangentially outside inner bank at S along line of a removed field boundary which is depicted here on 1923 OS 6-inch map. Interior is covered by dense overgrowth.
