The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on N-facing slope of limestone ridge. Circular area (24m N-S; 24m E-W) enclosed by denuded earth-and-stone bank (int. H 0.35m; ext. H 1.05m) best preserved NW->NE. Field boundary, which formerly skirted enclosure at N, is recently removed; uneven surface of interior may result from dumping of this material here. Interior is covered by thistles.
