The National Monuments Service's description
In marshy pasture, near base of gentle E-facing slope. Circular area (diam. c. 20m) enclosed by two concentric earthen banks with wide intervening fosse (Wth 5.7m; D 0.35m). Inner bank (int. H 0.35m; ext. H 0.9m) is heavily masked by overgrowth. Outer bank (ext. H 0.3m), surviving N->E and SE->W, is best preserved SE->WSW. It is incorporated into field boundary which kinks around outer edge of fosse W->N. Break in outer bank at E->SE matched roughly by dip in inner bank at ESE. Interior is completely covered by dense vegetation overgrowth.
