The National Monuments Service's description
On a level terrace on the gentle SE slope of a pasture ridge. Reported as a “stone wall circular enclosure” (SMR file). A poorly preserved, roughly C-shaped area (diam. 24m E-W) is defined by a broad low earthen bank (av. Wth 3m; int. H 0.3-0.6m; ext. H 0.7-1m) from SW-N-SSE. There is no surface trace of an enclosing element between SSE and SW resulting in the site being incorporated into a small field to its S. Later field walls at NW and NE give the enclosing bank a straight-sided appearance. The level interior is featureless.
