The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on break in gentle SE-facing slope. Oval area (31m N-S; 26.9m E-W) defined by scarped edge (H 0.85m; Wth 5.7m), best preserved ESE->SW; from SW->N scarp becomes very low and indistinct; cattle have denuded scarp at SW. Band of nettles (Wth c. 4m) running around site at base of scarp probably indicates infilled fosse. Interior, under pasture, dips gently down towards centre.
