The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on top of a short NW-SE drumlin ridge, it is not depicted on any OS 6-inch map. This is a circular grass-covered area (diam. 24.5m N-S; 24.5m E-W) defined by a scarp (Wth c. 2m; H 02-0.4m). There is no visible fosse or identifiable original entrance.
