The National Monuments Service's description
Contained within lumber yard, on break in S-facing slope. Sub-circular area (diam. c. 38m) enclosed by earth-and-stone bank NE->SSW and by linear field boundary NW->NNE. Bank (int. H 0.8m; ext. H 1.55m) is poorly preserved and heavily masked by logs and wood shavings heaped against inner face and piled over top. Two trackways converge and directly open into interior at W, leading to hay-barn and woodworking area at centre of enclosure.
