The National Monuments Service's description
In gently undulating pasture. Roughly rectangular area (c. 26m N-S; c. 23m E-W) with rounded corners, defined by scarped edge (ext. H 0.45m) with faint trace of external fosse (Wth c. 2.5m) SW->NW. Scarp edge is truncated NE->SE by a field boundary which has now been removed. Entire site is covered by dense overgrowth; interior appears to be level and no entrance feature could be discerned.
