The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating pasture. Circular area (27.1m N-S; 27.5m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 0.55m; ext. H 1.05m) NE->NW and defined by scarped edge (H 1.65m; Wth 1.5m) NW->NE. Numerous breaks in bank due to cattle erosion; widest gap (Wth 2.9m) at SW appears to be freshly made. Interior has been levelled-up on NE side to compensate for falling ground level. Level interior is under grass but is heavily poached by cattle.
