The National Monuments Service's description
On top of a low spur projecting N from the base of a drumlin at N. Circular grass-covered but poached area (diam. c. 28m) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 3-4.5m; int. H 0.2-0.6m; ext. H 0.25-1.1m) E-N and a scarp (H 0.8) elsewhere, with an outer fosse (Wth of top 3.5m; D 0.1-0.5m) intermittently visible NW-N, at ENE and at SSE. There is a modern gap at SSE and an E-W railway line is immediately to the S.
