The National Monuments Service's description
At the SW end of a low NW-SE ridge. D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 26.5m E-W; 20m N-S) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 3m; int. H 0.2-0.3m; ext. H 0.2-0.3m) N-ENE and a scarp (max. H 0.8m) S-W, but there is no evidence of the perimeter W-N. There is no visible fosse or entrance, and a disused NE-SW laneway truncates the perimeter at SE (L c. 15m).
