The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on S-facing hill slope. Sub-circular area (33.4m N-S; 30m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank with external fosse (D 0.55m; Wth 3m). Field boundaries skirt along outer edge of fosse at NW and E, forming field corner immediately outside enclosure at NNE. Bank (int. H 0.3m; ext. H 1.75m), best preserved NE->SE, is heavily masked by overgrowth SW->NW. Fosse, best preserved N->ESE, has recently been infilled at ESE to allow access to interior. Interior, under pasture, slopes down gently to S.
