The National Monuments Service's description
On a shelf on a SE-facing slope. Circular rush and scrub-covered area (diam. c. 30m) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 4.7m at N to 5.9m at S; int. H 0.4m at S to 1.5m at N; ext. H 1.2m) and fosse (Wth of base 2.5-3m; D 0.4-0.6m) S-W-N, but the perimeter is reduced to a scarp (H 0.8-1.15m) elsewhere. There is no visible entrance and a field bank circumscribes the perimeter S-W.
