The National Monuments Service's description
Located on the E-facing slope of the hill that has the motte and bailey (ME006-010----) at its summit. Aerial photographs (GB92.FD. 03 and 05), taken in September 1982, show a series of linear banks forming what might be a road ascending the hill on the S side of a WNW-ESE current field bank. The road (L c. 140m; Wth 13-22m) is between the field bank and a grass-covered earthen bank (Wth 3m; H 0.8m) on the S side. There is a gap (Wth 10m) about the middle of the S bank where the relict banks turn S. Field system (ME006-010002-) is in the field to the N.
