The National Monuments Service's description
At the crest of the SW-facing slope of a NW-SE ridge. This is a D-shaped grass-covered area (dims c. 50m E-W; c. 40m N-S) defined by an arc (C 50m) of an overgrown earthen bank (Wth c. 3m; int. H 1.5m; ext. H 3m) NW-E with gaps at N (Wth 0.8m) and NE (Wth 5m). There is no visible fosse and the perimeter is truncated by NNE-SSW field walls at E and W and by an E-W field bank at S. Souterrain (RO008C028002-) is inside the bank at N.
