The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on gentle S-facing slope. Circular area (diam. 27.9m) enclosed by earth-and-stone bank with an external fosse (Wth 3m; D 0.2m). Bank (int. H 1.2m; ext. H 2.3m), best preserved along S arc, lowers at NE (ext. H 1.3m). Bank and fosse are heavily masked by overgrowth SW->NNW and NE->SE. Fosse, littered with loose stone, is best preserved along N arc where field boundary runs tangentially to its outer edge. Causeway entrance (Wth 6.4m) at NE. Interior, covered by overgrowth along perimeter but with a small clearing at centre, slopes down gently to S.
