The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on level terrain. Roughly circular area (29.9m NE-SW) defined by scarped edge (H 0.25m; Wth 3.8m) NE->SW, with external fosse (Wth 1.4m; D 0.2m) ENE->SSW. Enclosing elements is covered by dense overgrowth SW->NE, but 1923 OS 6-inch map suggests it is truncated here by field boundaries forming NW corner of field. Level interior is under pasture.
