The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, near base of E-facing slope. Monument, depicted on 1923 OS 6-inch map as sub-circular embanked enclosure, has been levelled. However, it is now evident as roughly circular area (26.2m N-S; 24m E-W) defined by scarped edge (H 0.25m; Wth 1.8m), with external fosse (D 0.2m; Wth 2.3m) SE->S. Arc of infilled fosse is identified by band of nettles (Wth 2m) running around base of scarp NE->W and wider band of yellow grass (Wth 5.5m) S->N. Interior, under pasture, slopes down to E.
