The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a gently S-facing slope, c. 100m from the N bank of the River Deel. A circular area (11.7m N-S; 12.2m E-W) enclosed by a fosse (D 0.25m; Wth 2.2m) with an external bank (ext. H 0.2m). There is a gap in the bank (Wth 2.4m) at N; from this a shallow linear depression (Wth 2.4m) extends for c. 18m to the S. The fosse is waterlogged E->W. The bank is best preserved NNE->S. The level interior is under pasture.
