The National Monuments Service's description
At the W end of a low WNW-ESE ridge. Oval grass-covered area (dims 37m N-S; 33.5m E-W) defined by a scarp (H 0.8m at S to 1.2m at N) surrounded by a fosse (Wth of base 3.3-3.5m; D 0.1m at S). An outer overgrown bank (Wth 3.4m; int. H 0.4-0.6m; ext. H 0.6-0.9m) SW-NNW is replaced by a hedge NE-SE, while a WNW-ESE road skirts the perimeter at N. Souterrain (RO009-052002-) was inside the perimeter at E.
