The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle E-facing slope. Subcircular grass and rush-covered area (dims 25.9m N-S; 22.9 E-W) defined by an overgrown earthen bank (Wth 2-2.2m; int. H 01.-0.2m; ext. H 0.5-0.8m) S-NW which is reduced to a scarp (H 0.6-0.7m) elsewhere. There is no visible fosse or entrance. Archaeological testing (04E1179) immediately to W and NW in 2004 failed to produce any related archaeological material (Henry 2007b).
