The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a low rise. An oval embanked enclosure (diam. c. 25m NW−SE; c. 20m NE−SW) is shown on the 1838 OS 6-inch map; it is shown on the 1922 edition as a D-shaped area truncated by field boundaries at NW and E. A low irregular-shaped rise marks the location; there is no other visible trace at ground level.
