The National Monuments Service's description
Towards the top of the S-facing slope of an E-W drumlin ridge. D-shaped grass-covered but poached area (dims 27.3m E-W; 24.3m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.1-0.3m; ext. H 0.1m at N to 0.7m at SE) NW-N and E-SE which is reduced to a scarp (H 0.4-0.7m) elsewhere. An entrance ramp (Wth 2.5m), perhaps modern, is at W, and a N-S field wall and hedge overlies the E part of the site.
