The National Monuments Service's description
At the edge of a shelf overlooking a SW-NE stream, c. 40m to the SE. Subcircular grass-covered area (dims 29.7m NNW-SSE; 23.5m ENE-WSW) defined by a scrub-covered earthen bank (Wth 3.8-5.8m normally to 7.6m at E; int. H 0.3-0.6m; ext. H 0.6-0.9m), which is reduced to a scarp (H. 1.3m) E-SSE. There is no visible fosse but the perimeter is overlain by the remnants of a stone wall SE-W-NW, and there are widened entrance gaps at ESE (Wth 3.4m) and N (Wth 4.3m).
