The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on very gentle N-facing slope. Circular area (diam. c. 30m) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 0.7m; ext. H 1.4m), with external fosse (Wth 1.2m; D 0.35m) WNW->SW. A dwelling house was recently built immediately to SW with its garden bordering external base of bank SW->WNW. Bank, heavily masked by vegetation overgrowth, is best preserved along S arc where bank widens along top (Wth 2m). Dip in bank (Wth 4.5m) at NNE. Interior covered with dense vegetation overgrowth and some fallen trees have caused root damage to surface. Field boundary, depicted abutting enclosure at WNW on 1923 OS 6-inch map, has been removed.
