The National Monuments Service's description
Just off the crest of a NW-SE ridge on the SW-facing slope. D-shaped grass-covered area (dims 40.2m NW-SE; 31.6m NE-SW) defined by a slight but overgrown earthen bank (Wth 2.3-3.8m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.1-0.5m) and a slight outer fosse (Wth of base 2.5-2.8m; D 0.1-0.2m). There is no visible entrance and the site is truncated by a NW-SE field bank towards the perimeter at SW.
