The National Monuments Service's description
Near the top of the moderately steep W-facing slope of a NE–SW ridge in improved pasture. A roughly circular area (int. diams. 30m E-W; 26m N-S) is defined by a generally flat-topped bank of earth and stone (av. Wth 4.5m; int. H 0.4m-1m; ext. H 1.1- 1.5m) which is reduced to a scarp (H 1.3m) from SW-W. Trees and bushes grow along the perimeter. An old fence runs WNW-ESE across the S interior and there is a large hollow (dims. 10m E-W; 5m N-S; av. D 0.5m) in the NE sector. A later field wall runs SE off the enclosing bank at SE.
