The National Monuments Service's description
In mature coniferous forestry, on S-facing slope. Circular area (41m N-S; 39m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 0.4m; ext. H 2.5m) N->E, with external fosse (D 0.75m; Wth 0.4m) NNE->E. Line of enclosing element marked by scatter of loose stones E->NNW, but levelled NNW->N. Gap in bank with causeway across fosse at SSE (Wth 2m) and WSW (Wth 1.9m). Enclosing element has been damaged by machinery, with resultant variation in height and depth of bank and fosse respectively. A field boundary, running N-S, skirts along outer edge of fosse NE->E.
