The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on gentle S-facing slope. Circular area (diam. 15m) enclosed by two concentric earth-and-stone banks, 3m apart. Inner bank (int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.2m) best preserved at S; outer bank (int. H 0.25m; ext. H 0.2m) has a greater internal height, suggesting it falls into an infilled fosse. Field boundary skirts around outer bank NNW->NE before clipping it at NE->SE. Interior, under pasture, dips towards centre where there is a cluster of nettles. According to landowner, banks partially levelled during 1950s when quarried for road material.
