The National Monuments Service's description
On a S-facing slope towards the SW end of a low NE-SW drumlin ridge. D-shaped grass-covered area (dims. 19.5m NW-SE; 7m NE-SW) defined by a scarp (H 0.8-1.05m) S-WSW and an earthen bank (Wth 5m; int. H 0.2-0.45m; ext. H 1.3m) W-NW. The site is truncated at NE by a NW-SE field bank, and nothing of it is visible NE of this feature. Archaeological testing c. 100m to the SE failed to produce any related material (Read 2002).
