The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture on a gentle E-facing slope. A roughly circular area (int. diams. 28m N-S; 26m E-W) is enclosed by a broad bank of earth and stone (av. Wth 6m; int. H 0.5-1.4m; ext. H 1.3-1.8m). The enclosing bank is denuded by livestock along the N and is cut by two narrow livestock gaps at SE and a wider modern gap (Wth 1.3m) at W. A later field boundary wall runs WNW-ESE across the S sector of the level interior.
