The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, located on a NW−SE ridge, with a very steep fall of ground at S−SW and a more gradual slope at NW. A circular embanked enclosure (diam. c. 15-20m) is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; it is not shown on the 1922 edition. There is no visible trace at ground level.
