The National Monuments Service's description
In marshy pasture, on gentle ENE-facing slope. Roughly circular area (33m N-S; 38.9m E-W) defined by scarped edge (H 0.45m; Wth 3m). Scarp more pronounced on down-slope (NE) side but very slight up-slope. Gap worn across scarp by cattle accessing interior at E. Interior dips down gently towards centre and is under marshy pasture heavily poached by cattle.
