The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, within enclosure LI023-101----. C-shaped area (5.6m N-S; 4.2m E-W) slightly off-centre to E of interior of enclosure. Banks are broad and linear (L 5.8m at N; L 3.95m at E; L 4.6m at S) with an opening entrance at W (Wth 1m). Banks are earthen. N-bank (overall Wth 5.8m; int. H 0.17m; ext. H 0.35m) and S-bank have been disturbed by ploughing ridge (long-axis NNW-SSE) on their western sides. Similarly the E-bank (Wth 3.95m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.25m) has a furrow on its exterior and this 'dip' of the furrow accentuates the present exterior height of the bank.
